The angel maker

A literary page-turner about one man's macabre ambition to create life-and secure immortality The village of Wolfheim is a quiet little place until the geneticist Dr. Victor Hoppe returns after an absence of nearly twenty years. The doctor brings with him his infant children-three identical boys all sharing a disturbing disfigurement. He keeps them hidden away until Charlotte, the woman who is hired to care for them, begins to suspect that the triplets-and the good doctor- aren't quite what they seem. As the villagers become increasingly suspicious, the story of Dr. Hoppe's past begins to unfold, and the shocking secrets that he has been keeping are revealed. A chilling story that explores the ethical limits of science and religion, The Angel Maker is a haunting tale in the tradition of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Frankenstein. Brought to life by internationally bestselling author Stefan Brijs, this eerie tale promises to get under readers' skin.

  • "Dr. Victor Hoppe kehrt nach Jahren in sein Heimatdorf zurück. Doch ihm schlägt Misstrauen entgegen: Was hat es mit den drei Babys auf sich, die er dabei hat, aber versteckt hält? Und warum ist er zurück gekommen?"
  • "Le docteur Hoppe, de retour au pays dans la petite bourgade de Wolfheim, s'installe avec ses enfants. Cet évènement suscite la surprise et les rumeurs d'autant plus que ses trois fils, des triplés, présentent un aspect pour le moins étrange.--[Memento]."
  • "It's after many years Doctor Victor Hoppe returns to the small village he grew up in. His return after an absence of many years generates a lot of interest and suspicion as he is accompanied by three triplets, all of whom share the same physical deformity as the doctor a hare lip. These children are very quiet and are rarely seen in the village. But with time, and a series of apparently miraculous cures and tales of the wife he lost, the doctor begins to win the villagers over. He hires an ex schoolmistress, Charlotte, to look after the children and has strict instructions about the way they are to be brought up. But the longer Charlotte works with the doctor, the more she begins to suspect that the children and the doctor aren't what they seem. As a child, the doctor was locked away in a harsh children's home run by nuns - because of his autism and his hare lip, he was assumed to be an idiot. He was eventually rescued but was determined never to succumb to the religious zealotry he witnessed in the convent and to dedicate his life instead to the pursuit of science. He began a career as a geneticist but his desire to correct the mistakes of nature lead him to eventual ruin and disgrace. -- Publisher description."
