Great characters, killer plot, some science and history and a little sex. But seriously, the ending? I was so invested in those damaged detectives I feel upset that they might not live happily ever after! Hope there's a sequel in the works. ( ) “This goddamn film. It’s brought harm to everyone who’s come in contact with it.” And it’s got some extremely disturbing images on it! The eyeball, the girl and the bull, and the children and the rabbits… And what’s the connection to the film and the five dead bodies that were found buried? And the dead girls in Egypt? And the French Legion? And the CIA? And orphans in Canada? It's a pretty intense plot, with lots of loose ends and tough leads for Sharko and Hennebelle to follow. I really liked the first half and felt like the second half got bogged down in a lot of science and political complications that didn't really hold my interest. And the ending was not what I wanted either. Still, I would like to check out another book in this series on the strength of the beginning of this book! Desde los barrios de El Cairo a los orfelinatos de Canadá en los años cincuenta, una historia que presenta “algo” atemorizador e impactante bautizado como el síndrome E, un estudiado fenómeno de violencia colectiva: ¿Se puede manipular la mente humana de forma que acabe provocando actos de violencia? Un hecho muy extraño altera el verano de la teniente de la policía de Lille Lucie Henebelle: un ex amante suyo se ha quedado ciego cuando visionaba un cortometraje que acababa de comprar al hijo de un coleccionista recientemente fallecido. Una película muda, anónima, con un toque diabólico y enigmático. A 300 kilómetros de distancia, el comisario Franck Sharko, de la policía criminal, acepta volver al servicio bajo la presión de sus jefes tras haber abandonado el departamento. Se han hallado cinco cadáveres que resultan imposibles de identificar. Al tiempo que Lucie descubre los horrores que oculta la película, una misteriosa llamada le informa de la relación entre el filme y la historia de las muertes, y hace que Lucie y Sharko, dos seres absolutamente distintos, y quizás por ello tan cercanos, se encuentren para investigar lo que parece el mismo caso. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: The classic police procedural meets cutting-edge science in this huge international bestseller. Already a runaway bestseller in France, Syndrome E tells the story of beleaguered detective Lucie Henebelle, whose old friend has developed a case of spontaneous blindness after watching an extremely rare??and violent??film from the 1950s. Embedded in the film are subliminal images so unspeakably heinous that Lucie realizes she must get to the bottom of it??especially when nearly everyone who comes into contact with the film starts turning up dead. Enlisting the help of Inspector Franck Sharko??a brooding, broken analyst for the Paris police who is exploring the film's connection to five murdered men left in the woods??Lucie begins to strip away the layers of what is perhaps the most disturbing and powerful film ever made. Soon Sharko and Lucie find themselves mired in a darkness that spreads across politics, religion, science, and art while stretching from France to Canada, Egypt to Rwanda, and beyond. And just who is responsible for this darkness will blow listeners' minds, as Syndrome E forces them to consider: What if the earliest and most brilliant advances and discoveries of neuroscience were not used for good but for evil? With this taut US debut, Thilliez explores the origins of violence through cutting-edge and popular science in a breakneck thriller rich with shocking plot twists and profound questions about the nature of Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
