The shocking sequel to the runaway international bestseller Syndrome E
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 of Paris. But what first appears to be a vicious animal attack soon proves to be something more sinister. What was Eva secretly researching?

Praise:
“Exceptional…[Bred to Kill] shines as a thought-provoking, brilliant piece of speculative fiction. Thilliez plumbs humanity’s
dark side without relying on familiar conventions of plot and character.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
“Paleontology has rarely been this exciting…leaving us eager to have the rest of [Thilliez’s] efforts released in the U.S.” —Kirkus
“Thoughtful,
intricate…fine, brooding scenes of menace and mystery; interludes of
dazzling police work; and a chilling afterthought:
What are these scientist folks in their white coats really up to?” —Booklist
“Crichton fuses with `True Detective’ in a hammering hard-science thriller where the heart of darkness lies not in the soul, but
in the genes. Thilliez engineers a winner.”
—Scott Sigler,
New York Times-bestselling author of the Infected trilogy
“Franck Thilliez has combined a crime of staggering violence, an ancient mystery, and a lost Amazonian tribe and created a truly
frightening thriller, both for the intensity of the tale and the potential genetic vulnerability it reveals.
Bred to Kill is a smart science-thriller that makes the reader question, `Could this be real?’ Highly recommended."
—Jeremy Robinson, author of
Island 731 and SecondWorld

The classic procedural meets cutting-edge science in this runaway international bestseller
A breakout bestseller in France, Syndrome E is a taut thriller with cinematic echoes—from The Manchurian Candidate to the Bourne series—that uncovers a shocking chapter in the history of neuroscience.
Lucie Henebelle, single mother and beleaguered detective, has just about enough on her plate when she receives a phone call from an ex-lover. Lucie’s old friend has developed a case of hysterical blindness after watching a mysterious film from the 1950s. Embedded in the movie are subliminal images so heinous that Lucie, with the help of brooding profiler Inspector Franck Sharko, is determined to get to the bottom of it—especially when nearly everyone connected to the film starts turning up dead.
