“The Devil’s Island” is the third, and for now the last, installment of investigator Sarah Geringën’s adventures written by Nicolas Beuglet. Published in the fall by XO Editions, “The Devil’s Island” is a chilling thriller rooted in the past, bringing to light an unknown and terrifying event.
“The Devil’s Island” picks up where Plot left off: Sarah Geringën is in prison. However, her release is expedited when her father is found murdered, covered in a strange white powder with a key hidden at the bottom of his stomach. Sarah soon begins to have doubts about her father, a rather distant man she ultimately knew very little about. And indeed, he had a lot to hide…
This investigation will lead Sarah on the trail of her personal history, her father’s past and childhood in Russia, particularly in Siberia. The action of this thriller captivates the reader who traces back with Sarah into her past until fiction and History converge on a terrifying island inhabited by ghosts…
Reality and entertainment then collide brutally and reveal to readers an unknown historical event of the massive deportation in 1933, in the USSR.
In this story of revenge, Sarah will learn much about her past and discover new scientific research on epigenetics, which is the transmission through genes of elements from past generations.
Nicolas Beuglet once again manages to blend history, science, and thriller in a chilling story, allowing words to finally be put to the anxieties and feelings of guilt of his heroine…
