ReviewsPraise for Syndrome E : "Compulsively readable . . . An eerie psychological mystery with a truly stunning resolution." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "A crackerjack story that most readers will devour in one sitting . . . Spare evocative prose propels French author Thilliez's stellar U.S. debut." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Blending science and neurology into the intrigue of his excellent thriller, Thilliez takes us into the maze of the human brain, with all the evils it can unleash." - Elle (Paris) "With a fascinating blend of noir procedural, espionage flavor, and an eerie set up that makes the video from The Ring seem harmless, it is no surprise that Syndrome E has already been an international sensation. Beneath its dazzling, byzantine plot are menacing questions of what lurks at the intersection between the new and chilling capabilities of neuroscience and the ancient but more-chilling capabilities of human evil." -Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author of The Prophet and Tonight I Said Goodbye "This terrific French thriller . . . boasts distinctive characters you want to spend time with, a lively plot, evocative settings, fun film references and, icing on the cake, an enjoyable offbeat romance. Having achieved bestseller status in Europe, Thilliez is poised to do the same in the U.S." - Kirkus Reviews "Detective Lucie Henebelle is an overwhelmed single mother who doesn't need more trouble. Then she gets the call from a friend who has gone blind after watching an obscure film embedded with heinous images. It's her colleague, a profiler for the Paris police department, who makes the connection between the movie and the five men murdered at a construction site. Twisty neuroscience! Who can resist?" - New York Daily News "A tour de force . . . A captivating plot that keeps the reader in his seat until the final moments." - Le Monde Magazine

Lucie's old friend has developed a case of hysterical blindness after watching a mysterious film from the 1950s.

A breakout bestseller in France, Syndrome E is a taut and chilling thriller., 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.
