Riassunto

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 Niémans 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.

Recensione:

"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 The Los Angeles Times)

"I would defy any reader not to be on the edge of his seat." (Simon Shaw The Mail on Sunday)

"At 3 a.m. I crept into my bed completely unnerved: "Blood-RedRivers" turned out to be one of those compulsive reads, where you keep promising yourself you'll close the book after just one more chapter but find yourself helplessly turning pages until there are no more." (Lisa Oberteuffer The Albuquerque Journal)

"Smart and intense, Blood RedRiverswill have you turning pages at a furious clip." (Peter Mergendahl Denver Rocky Mountain News)
