“Unimpeachably terrific.” —The New York Times Book Review

The publishing phenomenon topping bestseller lists around the world, with sales of more than 2 million copies in Europe and rights sold in more than forty countries, The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair is a fast-paced, tightly plotted, intricate, cinematic literary thriller, and an ingenious book within a book, by Joël Dicker, a stunning young writer.

August 30, 1975: the day fifteen-year-old Nola Kellergan is spotted fleeing through the woods, never to be heard from again; the day Somerset, New Hampshire, lost its innocence.

Thirty-three years later, Marcus Goldman, a successful young novelist, visits Somerset to see his mentor, Harry Quebert, one of the country’s most acclaimed writers, and to find a cure for his writer’s block as his publisher’s deadline approaches. But Marcus’s plans are dramatically upended when Harry is suddenly and sensationally involved in the cold-case murder of Nola Kellergan—whom, he admits, he had an affair with. As the national media convicts Harry, Marcus initiates his own investigation, following a trail of clues through his mentor’s books, the backwoods and isolated beaches of New Hampshire, and the hidden history of Somerset’s citizens and the man they hold most dear. To save Harry, his own writing career, and eventually even himself, Marcus must answer three questions, all of which are mysteriously connected: Who killed Nola Kellergan? What happened one misty morning in Somerset in 1975? And how do you write a book to save someone’s life?
If you are an avid and dedicated crime fiction reader, I highly recommend this page-turning best-selling book.
