Blood Red Rivers

by Jean-ChristopheGrange (Author)

Synopsis

In a world of knife-edge glaciers a hideous crime leads two maverick detectives to confront the limits of human evil. A corpse is discovered wedged in an isolated crevice. It has been horribly mutilated. The brilliant but violent ex-commando Pierre Niemans is sent from Paris to the French Alps to lead the investigation. Meanwhile, in a town in south-west France, Karim Abdouf, a young Arab policeman, is trying to find out why the tomb of a young child has been desecrated. When a second baby is found, high up in a glacier, the paths of the two policemen are joined in the search for their killers, a trail that embroils them in the mysterious cult of the blood red rivers.

Media Reviews
An enthralling read New Statesman A gripping story and racy narrative Sunday Telegraph The best thriller since The Silence of the Lambs Figaro Grange has turned out a rip-roaring shocker that begins smashingly; skirts the spooky supernatural amid graveyards, ruins, wild landscapes and night-scapes for 300 gripping pages; and at last collapses into the macabre 18th century fantasies of Maturin and Mrs. Radcliffe -- Eugen Weber Los Angeles Times Smart and intense, Blood Red Rivers will have you turning pages at a furious clip -- Peter Mergendahl Denver Rocky Mountain News
