ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"A Napoleonic voice that doesn't so much write as box." -Laura Fernández, El Cultural

On July 2, 2022, a pair of burglars is preparing to loot one of Geneva's most elegant jewelry stores.

The crime is much more than a common heist. Three weeks earlier, at her luxurious wooded mansion, Sophie Braun is about to celebrate her fortieth birthday. To all appearances, the fates have smiled upon her: She has a wonderful family, a beautiful home and a successful career, but her idyllic existence is about to crumble. Her husband is hiding a multitude of secrets. Her neighbor, a respected police official, is obsessed with her and spies on her most intimate moments. And a mysterious prowler leaves her a gift that puts her life at risk. Sophie must journey into the past, far from Geneva, to discover the origin of a diabolical intrigue from which no one will emerge unscathed.

A fast-paced and suspenseful thriller that that cements Joël Dicker's reputation since his debut novel, The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair, as a literary phenomenon with more than twenty million readers around the world.
