Le syndrome E
Le syndrome E | Franck Thilliez
2 posts | 9 read | 5 to read
La quatrième de couverture indique : "Un film mystérieux et malsain qui rend aveugle... Voilà de quoi gâcher les vacances de Lucie Henebelle, lieutenant de police à Lille, et de ses deux adorables jumelles. Cinq cadavres retrouvés atrocement mutilés, le crâne scié... Il n'en fallait pas plus à la Criminelle pour rappeler le commissaire Franck Sharko en congé forcé pour soigner ses crises de schizophrénie. Deux pistes pour une seule et même affaire qui va réunir Henebelle et Sharko, si différents et pourtant si proches dans leur conception du métier. Des bidonvilles du Caire aux orphelinats du Canada des années cinquante, les deux nouveaux équipiers vont mettre le doigt sur un mal inconnu, d'une réalité effrayante et qui révèle que nous pourrions tous commettre le pire. Car aujourd'hui, ceux qui ne connaissent pas le syndrome E, ne savent pas encore de quoi ils sont capables..."

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!
