Suspense
August 30, 1975: the day fifteen-year-old Nola Kellergan is
glimpsed 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 respected writers, and to find a
cure for his writer’s block as his publisher’s deadline
looms. But Marcus’s plans are violently upended when Harry
is suddenly and sensationally implicated in the cold-case
murder of Nola Kellergan—whom, he admits, he had an affair
with. As the national media convicts Harry, Marcus launches
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 the summer of 1975? And how do
you write a book to save someone’s life?
A chart-topping worldwide phenomenon, with sales approaching
a million copies in France alone and rights sold in more
than thirty countries, The Truth About the Harry Quebert
Affair is a fast-paced, tightly plotted, cinematic literary
thriller, and an ingenious book within a book, by a dazzling
young writer.
