It looks like a straightforward animal attack... but Eva
Louts' death is a cleverly disguised murder. Eva was a
graduate student working on her seemingly harmless thesis
in
evolutionary biology, but what deep secrets did she
uncover?
Chief Inspector Franck Sharko is assigned the case, never
expecting it to lead him back to Lucie Hennebelle and a
very
dark day one year prior. Will Sharko and Lucie be able to
work together yet again in order to stop a deadly
mastermind?
BRED TO KILL picks up a week after the events of Syndrome
E,
as Franck Thilliez delves right into a parent's most
horrifying nightmare. From there, we jump forward a year
to
where we see that neither Sharko nor Lucie have remained
unscarred by the awful events that occurred on one
otherwise
beautiful day. I like that Franck Thilliez doesn't shy
away
from hammering his characters with some of the worst
things
life has to offer and then showing us the glimmer of hope
that allows them to live past the pain.
Franck Thilliez is a sheer genius at taking deeply flawed
characters and making them both likable and sympathetic.
My
heart aches for what Lucie has endured as Franck Thilliez
does a spectacular job at conveying her anguish, pain, and
guilt. I love the clever twists as we gain a deeper
insight
into the characters while delving into a very perverse
mystery. There is a lot of scientific information provided
as part of the storyline, but Franck Thilliez explains it
all in a way a layperson can easily grasp the necessary
information.
BRED TO KILL is yet another deliciously dark and
compelling
thriller from the talented Franck Thilliez! Fans of Stieg
Larsson should definitely give Franck Thilliez a try as
they
will appreciate the scope of his stories. I can't
recommend
BRED TO KILL highly enough as I eagerly wait to see what
Franck Thilliez has in store for us in future books!
Syndrome E’s Lucie Henebelle and Inspector Sharko have
reunited to take on the case of the brutal murder of Eva
Louts, a promising graduate student who was killed while
working at a primate research center outside Paris. But
what
first appears to be a vicious animal attack soon proves to
be something more sinister. What was Eva secretly
researching? Was she tracking three fanatical scientists
who
control a thirty-thousand-year-old virus with plans to
unleash it into the world?
With his unmatched ability to inject cutting-edge science
into his novels, Thilliez draws on genetics, paleontology,
and the dark side of human nature to create this smart,
adrenaline-fueled thriller. Bred to Kill moves from the
rain-slicked streets of Paris to the heart of the Alps to
the remote
Amazon jungle as Lucie and Sharko work to solve the
murder—before whoever killed Eva comes for them.
