Christine Adamo

Christine Adamo (born 1965) is a French writer who comes from the world of the sciences. Specialized in environmental information, she writes thrillers which cross science, history and suspense.

Novels Requiem pour un poisson (Requiem for a fish) (Liana Levi and Folio policier – Gallimard (France), 2005, De Geus (Netherland), Effemme (Italy), Alpha Books (China)), tells how a Parisian girl, Marie, get caught into the deadly discovery of an enigmatic fossil fish: the cœlacanth, Noir austral (Southern black) (Liana Levi and Folio policier – Gallimard (France) (2006), De Geus (Netherland), Touring Editore (Italia)), develops two plots which come together in the end: the odyssey of an Aboriginal Australian tribe from 70,000 BCE to the present and the story of a young Australian woman, Liz, who moves to Provence in search of her French roots. Web mortem (Albin Michel (France), 2009), precipitates Hammond Mac Leod, a young and distinguished dean of the University of St Andrews, in Scotland, into an atrocious online game strangely linked to forgotten languages of ancient Mesopotamia.
