Een Amerikaanse arts verhuist met haar gezin naar een eiland voor de kust van Maine om een nieuw leven te beginnen, maar dat verandert in een nachtmerrie als kort na hun komst een buurvrouw wordt vermoord.

Miután évekig ápolta beteg édesanyját, Jessie Sloane rendbe akarja hozni az életét. Új lakást bérel, és továbbtanulásra jelentkezik egy főiskolára. Ám amikor értesítik, hogy a társadalombiztosítási számával valami gond van, döbbenetes hírrel szembesül, ami arra kényszeríti, hogy kétségbe vonjon mindent, amiben eddig hitt. Egy bizarr rejtély főszereplőjeként Jessie úgy érzi magát, mint Alice Csodaországban, aki belezuhant egy nyúlüregbe. Ráadásul egyre súlyosbodó álmatlansága miatt az ítélőképessége elhomályosul, gondolatait megbéklyózza a kimerültség. Látomásai támadnak, míg végül már nem tudja eldönteni, mi valóságos, és mi az, amit csak a képzelete vetít elé. Húsz évvel korábban és kétszázötven mérfölddel távolabb egy másik nő hoz egy pillanatnyi döntést – és talán ez a kulcs Jessie titokzatos múltjához. Vajon a lány tényleg az, akinek hiszi magát? Vagy az egész élete hazugság volt? Lelke legmélyéig meg fogja rázni az igazság – ha egyáltalán megéri…

Pire : lorsqu’elle fouille dans les papiers d’Eden, elle se rend compte que celle-ci ne l’a jamais déclarée à charge dans ses revenus... Les jours passent et le mystère ne fait que s’épaissir, aggravé par l’insomnie chronique dont souffre Jessie. Entre l’épuisement et le deuil, sans carte d’identité ni compte en banque, elle commence à perdre pied. Pourquoi sa mère lui a-t-elle caché qui elle était ? Pourquoi a-t-elle toujours refusé de lui parler de son père ? Toute sa vie n’est-elle qu’un terrible mensonge ?

El mundo de Clara Solberg estalla en mil pedazos cuando su marido y su hija de cuatro años tienen un accidente de tráfico. Nick muere, pero Maisie sale extrañamente ilesa. El suceso se cataloga como accidente... hasta que días más tarde, Maisie empieza a tener terrores nocturnos que hacen que Clara se cuestione qué sucedió realmente esa fatídica tarde. Atormentada por el dolor y la obsesión con que la muerte de Nick fue más que un accidente, Clara se lanza en una búsqueda desesperada de la verdad. ¿Quién querría ver muerto a Nick? Y, lo más importante, ¿por qué? Clara no se detendrá ante nada para averiguarlo; y la verdad es solo el principio de esta retorcida historia de secretos y mentiras. Alternando las perspectivas de la investigación de Clara y los últimos meses de Nick antes del accidente, la maestra del suspense Mary Kubica ofrece su thriller más escalofriante hasta la fecha; una historia que explora los rincones oscuros de una mente consumida por el dolor y demuestra que algunos secretos deberían seguir enterrados. "Una absorbente novela policiaca y una conmovedora historia de duelo que no podrás dejar de leer". Ruth Ware autora de La mujer del camarote 10 "Brillante, intensa y totalmente adictiva. Prepárate para un torbellino de emociones". B.A. Paris, autor de Al cerrar la puerta y Confusión. "Un thriller psicológico que pone los pelos de punta... Kubica se muestra una vez más como una maestra en la manipulación y el suspense". Publisher Weekly. "La cuarta novela de Mary Kubica es escalofriante... es el retrato del duelo y la crónica de la investigación que una viuda realiza para descubrir las mentiras que han enmarcado toda su vida". Booklist "Excelente novelista de suspense psicológico. Con su primera novela, Una buena chica, sorprendió al público y con esta segunda revalida el éxito obtenido" Luis Fernández, La Razón, sobre Una chica desconocida "Lo que comienza siendo un acto de bondad se convierte rápidamente en una trama mucho más retorcida de lo que nadie podía imaginar. ¿Quién se puede resistir a una historia tan sugerente?" Harper Bazaar España sobre Una chica desconocida "Lo que nos engancha del nuevo título de Kubica es que escarba en un miedo tan básico como antiguo. ¿Y si la bondad y la caridad se vuelven contra ti?" Vogue España sobre Una chica desconocida "Mary Kubica da una vuelta de tuerca a ese paraíso tan perfecto: la familia". Antonio Fontana, ABC, sobre Una buena chica

Clara Solberg világa összeomlik, mikor férjét és négyéves kislányát autóbaleset éri, melyben Nick meghal, Maisie-nek viszont meglepő módon nem esik baja. A szerencsétlenséget balesetként könyvelik el – egészen addig, míg a következő napokban Maisie-nél rémálmok jelentkeznek, és Clara kénytelen feltenni a kérdést: mi is történt valójában azon a végzetes délutánon? Clara, akit emészt a bánat, és megszállottsággal határos módon hisz abban, hogy Nick halála több volt, mint egyszerű baleset, elkeseredett nyomozásba kezd. Ki akarhatta Nick vesztét? És ami még fontosabb: miért? Clarát semmi sem tarthatja vissza, hogy megtalálja a választ – de az igazság csak a kezdet ebben a csavaros, titkokról és csalásról szóló történetben. Miközben az elbeszélés során egymást váltogatja Clara nyomozásának, illetve Nick balesetet megelőző utolsó hónapjának leírása, Mary Kubica, a feszültségkeltés mestere eddig leghátborzongatóbb történetét szövi, mely egy bánattól sújtott elme legsötétebb zugait kutatja, és megmutatja, hogy bizonyos titkokat jobb nem bolygatni…

He drives beside you on the highway, waving to let you into the lane ahead of him. He also has an elaborate cage in a secret basement under his garage.
