An “extraordinary” (Stephen King) and “mesmerizing” (LA Times) standalone novel from the master of crime and suspense and author of the forthcoming novel The Hunter.
From the writer who “inspires cultic devotion in readers” (The New Yorker) and has been called “incandescent” by Stephen King, “absolutely mesmerizing” by Gillian Flynn, and “unputdownable” (People) comes a gripping new novel that turns a crime story inside out.
Toby is a happy-go-lucky charmer who’s dodged a scrape at work and is celebrating with friends when the night takes a turn that will change his life—he surprises two burglars who beat him and leave him for dead. Struggling to recover from his injuries, beginning to understand that he might never be the same man again, he takes refuge at his family’s ancestral home to care for his dying uncle Hugo. Then a skull is found in the trunk of an elm tree in the garden—and as detectives close in, Toby is forced to face the possibility that his past may not be what he has always believed.
A spellbinding standalone from one of the best suspense writers working today, The Witch Elm asks what we become, and what we’re capable of, when we no longer know who we are.

Del escritor que “inspira devoción culta en los lectores” (The New Yorker) y al que Stephen King ha calificado de “incandescente”, Gillian Flynn “absolutamente fascinante” e “indiscutible” (People), llega una nueva y apasionante novela que convierte una historia del crimen de adentro hacia afuera.
Toby es un encantador despreocupado que ha evitado un problema en el trabajo y está celebrando con amigos cuando la noche da un giro que cambiará su vida: sorprende a dos ladrones que lo golpean y lo dan por muerto. Luchando por recuperarse de sus heridas, comenzando a comprender que tal vez nunca vuelva a ser el mismo hombre, se refugia en el hogar ancestral de su familia para cuidar de su tío moribundo Hugo. Luego se encuentra una calavera en el tronco de un olmo del jardín y, cuando los detectives se acercan, Toby se ve obligado a afrontar la posibilidad de que su pasado no sea lo que siempre ha creído.
Un fascinante libro independiente de uno de los mejores escritores de suspense de la actualidad, The Witch Elm pregunta en qué nos convertimos y de qué somos capaces cuando ya no sabemos quiénes somos.
