**Instant New York Times Bestseller

"Unimpeachably terrific." --The New York Times Book Review
For fans of Ruth Ware, Shari Lapena, and Donna Tartt: a twisty,
fast-paced, cinematic literary thriller, and an ingenious book within a
book, by the #1 internationally bestselling author of The Enigma of
Room 622
Marcus Goldman is riding high. The twenty-eight-year-old writer is the
new darling of American letters, whose debut novel has sold two million
copies. But when it comes time to produce a new book, he is sidelined by
a crippling case of writer's block. He travels to Somerset, New
Hamprshire, to see his mentor, Harry Quebert, one of the country's most
respected writers, hoping to jar his creative juices as his publisher's
deadline looms. But Marcus's plans are upended when Harry is
sensationally implicated in a cold-case murder: Fifteen-year-old Nola
Kellergan went missing in 1975, and Harry admits to having had an affair
with her. Following a trail of clues through the backwoods and isolated
beaches of New Hampshire, Marcus must answer two questions, which are
mysteriously connected: Who killed Nola Kellergan? And how do you write
a book to save someone's life?
