One Thursday a month, in the atmosphere of a literary salon, the writer Aurélie de Gubernatis hosts “Literary Thursdays” to offer a moment of sharing between the audience, writers, and their work.
This Thursday at the Louis Nucéra library at 5 PM, Sonja Delzongle presents her novel “The Man from the Northern Plain” published by Denoël.
The Author. Sonja Delzongle was born in 1967 to a French father and a Serbian mother. Enriched by her dual heritage and a graduate of the Fine Arts School of Dijon, she exhibited for about fifteen years, then became a print journalist in Lyon, where she still resides. She is now exclusively dedicated to writing. Sonja Delzongle is the author of eleven novels.
The Book. An extraordinary psychological thriller that places its heroine at the center of a double investigation, in a setting as magnificent as it is unsettling… Hanah Baxter is a famous Belgian profiler living in New York. As she returns from an investigation and finally unpacks her bags, two FBI agents knock on her door: she is the subject of an international arrest warrant. Baxter is accused of a murder committed twenty years ago, that of her mentor, Anton Vifkin. Repatriated to Belgium, Hanah agrees to collaborate with Commissioner Peeters, who is tasked with reopening the investigation. The discovery, deep in the Seignes Forest, of a man devoured by pit bulls sets them on the trail of a manor that seems strangely familiar to Baxter. She had been here before during the time of Vifkin. As Hanah and Peeters struggle amidst the mystery, someone is watching them. A formidable killer with one last bullet coated with gold leaf, the bullet that should have hit Hanah, twenty years earlier…
