About this title

About the Author:

Jean-Christophe Grang was born in Paris in 1961. His acclaimed thriller, Blood-red Rivers (Harvill, 2000), has become an international bestseller.

From Publishers Weekly:

In Flight of the Storks, French novelist Jean-Christophe Grange's second novel to be translated into English, a young, aimless academic tracks a flock of migrating storks across Europe and Africa in hopes of discovering the truth behind the sudden death of a Swiss ornithologist. Along the way, he uncovers a series of gruesome murders and other assorted evils. Unfortunately, the book's most promising elementsAthe multiple foreign settings (Bulgaria, India, Israel, etc.) and stilted Euro tough-guy talkAalso burden the book with pretension, rarely allowing it to rise above the level of bloodied, pseudo-philosophical exotica.
