Flight Of The Storks by Jean-Christopher Grange

Every year the storks set off on their miraculous 12,000 mile migration from northern Europe to central Africa. One year some of them inexplicably fail to return. At the invitiation of Max Boehm, a wealthy Swiss ornithologist, a young French academic, Louis Antioch, agrees to undertake a journey tracing the flight of the storks in an attempt to solve the mystery of the birds disappearance. Before Antioch can set off on his quest, however, Boehm is dead. His body is found in a stork s nest. This pulsating and darkly mysterious thriller, by the author of the best-selling Blood-Red Rivers, moves at dramatic pace from Switzerland to a Bulgarian gypsy camp, Israeli kibbutzim, the jungles of central Africa and Calcutta before the gruesome truth emerges. Flight of the Storks is further proof of Jean-Christophe Grange s skills in constructing a narrative that is pacy, violent, frightening and crammed with suspense.
