Syndrome E
Syndrome E: A Thriller | Franck Thilliez
2 posts | 9 read | 5 to read
What You Don’t See Could Kill You In this international bestseller, which is soon to be a major motion picture penned by the screenwriter of Black Swan, the classic procedural meets cutting-edge science Lucie Henebelle, single mother and beleaguered detective, has just about enough on her plate when she receives a panicked phone call from an ex-lover who has developed a rare disorder after watching an obscure film from the 1950s. With help from the brooding Inspector Franck Sharko, who is exploring the movie’s connection to five unearthed corpses at a construction site, Lucie begins to strip away the layers of what may be the most disturbing film ever made. With more lives on the line, Sharko and Lucie struggle to solve this terrifying mystery before it’s too late. In a high-stakes, adrenaline-fueled hunt that jumps from France to Canada, Egypt to Rwanda, and beyond, this astonishing page-turner, with cinematic echoes from The Manchurian Candidate and the Bourne series, will keep you guessing until the very end.

Syndrome E: A Thriller | Franck Thilliez

This scene is a reference to the 1929 film Un Chien Andalou! It's a surrealist film directed by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí. I don't remember the entire film, but I do remember being creeped out by it. 😱😨

(Let me know if the still from the film is too disturbing, I'll be more than happy to just switch it to the text from the book!)

TobeyTheScavengerMonk I have a mega damage-to-the-eye thing, so this made me hyperventilate a tad, but we're cool. We're cool. 8y
eekabook @TobeyTheScavengerMonk Oh no!!! I'm sorry about that! 😩 Definitely don't recommend that film for you. 8y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk I was exaggerating slightly for comedic effect, but only slightly My wife took a film class in college, and after they watched she made it clear that I should never ever watch it. 8y

Finished this book on audio a day or two ago. I loved the mix of old film and movie making with the thriller/mystery aspect. Narrator was good and it was much better to have the French names and locations spoken for me instead of reading it and having my head butcher it. I will be picking up the sequel soon!
