Bred to Kill

Bred to Kill by Franck Thilliez Summary: In the shocking sequel to runaway international bestseller Syndrome E, 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. Angie's Comments: Fascinating mystery! I couldn’t figure out who was doing what until the end. I haven’t read Syndrome E, but Bred to Kill also works as a stand-alone. It is bloody and violent. Also, the mystery involves left-handedness. If you are left-handed or know someone who is, it might be interesting just for that. Thilliez works a lot of science into this book, but don’t rely on the science presented in this book. Recommended for readers who like violent stories, science and detectives who break the law.     Request this item
