Crimson Rivers — Jean-Christophe Grangé

Crimson Rivers (Ukrainian Багряні ріки) is a powerful thriller by Jean-Christophe Grangé that weaves together gruesome murders, hidden archives, and deep secrets in small French towns. In one, a librarian, a medic, and a doctor are found tortured. In another, a school crypt is violated, and a child’s remains desecrated. The local authorities fail, so Commissioner Nieman is called in — but his investigation uncovers links between the crimes that stretch decades and cross town boundaries. Grangé’s prose is atmospheric, relentless, and steeped in mystery. This Ukrainian edition spans 352 pages, published by Клуб Сімейного Дозвілля.
