Description
Diane Thiberge, an ethologist specialized in predatory animals, was the victim of an assault during her childhood. She believes she has at last found meaning in her life when she adopts a five-year-old child from Thailand. But when the child has an accident and is declared brain dead, Diane suddenly finds herself faced with a series of gruesome murders. It becomes terrifyingly clear that she and her son have been the victims of machination, and Diane finds herself confronting the anguish from her obscure past which is slowly resurfacing. After his blockbuster Blood Red Rivers (Harvill, 2000), Jean-Christophe Grangé breaks through the confines of the traditional thriller in The Circle of Stone where it is no longer a question of understanding a killer’s private madness, but of plunging into the greatest and most profound evil of all, in the zone where occult forces reign in supremacy. Film rights have been sold to Fox / UGC. Rights sold in Germany, Italy, United Kingdom.
