Evolution is an exception. Extinction is a rule. A biology student who was working on her thesis about the relationship between laterality and violence is found dead. The police discover that, before her death, she had visited eleven violent criminals in prison - all of whom were left-handed. From the Alps to the Amazon, at the heart of evolution, DNA and genetics, GATACA is full of intertwined suspense throughout the various episodes, as much in the investigation as in the personal lives of Sharko and Henebelle. Audacious until the very end! “Scattering macabre clues, multiplying leads and dead ends, he concocts a vigorous story, full of twists but with dazzling clarity in spite of its arduous scientific framework - the mysteries of DNA.” Le Parisien A diptych about the origins of violence Sample English translations and Reader’s reports available Rights sold: US (Penguin), Spain (Destino), Italy (Nord), Germany (Goldmann), The Netherlands (Sijthoff), Brazil (Intrinseca), Russia (Atticus), Taiwan (Eurasian Publishing Group), Portugal (Sextante) Le Syndrome [E] Syndrome [E] Published 14 October 2010, 432 Pages / Hardback / 20.90Published 14 October 2010, 432 Pages / Hardback / 20.90 €€ Over 80,000 copies sold in France Can violence be triggered at will? An anonymous film with a twisted and enigmatic scenario that deprives of sight those who watch it. Five corpses found buried with their hands cut off, eyes and teeth pulled out and skulls cracked. One and the same affair in fact, thanks to which Detective Lucie Henebelle and Behavioral Analyst Franck Sharko, so different and yet so similar in their perception of the job, will meet. Their investigations will take them from the shantytowns of Cairo to the orphanages in Canada in the 1950’s, on the tracks of an unknown evil that shows we may all be capable of the worst… “By mixing science and neurology into the plot of this excellent thriller, [Franck Thilliez] pulls us into the complexities of the human brain, with all the turpitudes it generates.” Elle SOG1066-INT-Cata Francfort 140x200 Sec1:6SOG1066-INT-Cata Francfort 140x200 Sec1:6 03/08/11 11:3103/08/11 11:31
