A Wall Street Journal Best Mystery of 2024

If The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair read like Gatsby by way of David Lynch, then The Alaska Sanders Affair recalls True Detective: there's something both classic and daring about it. One of the world's most original voices in crime fiction. --A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window and End of Story

The Alaska Sanders Affair ... transcends pigeonholing with its abundance of plot, subplots and melodramatic U-turns ... everything seems to be connected ... [and] Mr. Dicker casts an undeniable spell. --Wall Street Journal

The thrilling new whodunit from Joël Dicker, master of the plot twist and the author of The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair and The Enigma of Room 622.

April 1999. The body of Alaska Sanders is found on the shore of a lake near the quiet town of Mount Pleasant, New Hampshire. The young woman's death rocks the small community, but the murder is quickly solved. Within days, a suspect is identified and soon convicted. Case closed. Or so it seemed. . . .

Eleven years later, Marcus Goldman, celebrity author and amateur sleuth, picks up a thread that will unravel not only the open and shut case of Alaska Sanders, but the very fabric of his best friend, -Sergeant Perry Gahalowood-'s life. Gahalowood, who led the original Alaska Sanders investigation, is hell-bent on finding the truth and setting the record straight. Teaming up with Marcus, he hopes to find redemption by solving the most intricate and trying case of his career.

Set both before and after the events of his phenomenal worldwide bestseller The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair, Dicker's latest delivers the last word in slow-burn police procedurals. Clue by clue, witness by witness, question by question, his characters painstakingly piece together an unguessable puzzle that could only have been set by this acclaimed master of the plot twist. And as they uncover who Alaska Sanders truly was, other ghosts from the past emerge . . .

[The Enigma of Room 622 is an] exhilarating tour de force-The Wall Street Journal

A burnt-out writer's retreat at a fancy Swiss hotel is interrupted by a murder mystery in this metafictional, meticulously crafted whodunit from the New York Times bestselling author of The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair.

A writer named Joël, Switzerland's most prominent novelist, flees to the Hôtel de Verbier, a luxury resort in the Swiss Alps. Disheartened over a recent breakup and his longtime publisher's death, Joël hopes to rest. However, his plans quickly go awry. It all starts with a seemingly innocuous detail: at the Verbier, there is no room 622.

Before long, Joël and fellow guest Scarlett uncover a long-unsolved murder that transpired in the hotel's room 622. The attendant circumstances: the succession of Switzerland's largest private bank, a mysterious counterintelligence operation called P-30, and a most disreputable sabotage of hotel hospitality. A European phenomenon, The Enigma of Room 622 is a matryoshka doll of intrigue-as precise as a Swiss watch-and Dicker's most diabolically addictive thriller yet.

Tras impactar a tres millones de lectores con La verdad sobre el caso Harry Quebert, Joël Dicker regresa con Marcus Goldman en su nueva novela.

«Jöel Dicker ha vuelto, sí, y lo ha hecho en plena forma. El Libro de los Baltimore es una novela titánica, nabokoviana, altamente recomendable. .-Laura Fernández, El Cultural de El Mundo

«Si encontráis este libro, por favor, leedlo. Querría que alguien supiera la historia de los Goldman-de-Baltimore.

Hasta que tuvo lugar el Drama existían dos ramas de la familia Goldman: los Goldman de Baltimore y los Goldman de Montclair. Los Montclair, de los que forma parte Marcus Goldman, autor de La verdad sobre el caso Harry Quebert, es una familia de clase media que vive en una pequeña casa en el estado de Nueva Jersey. Los Baltimore, prósperos y a los que la suerte siempre ha sonreído, habitan una lujosa mansión en un barrio de la alta sociedad de Baltimore.

Ocho años después del Drama, Marcus Goldman pone el pasado bajo la lupa en busca de la verdad sobre el ocaso de la familia. Entre los recuerdos de su juventud revive la fascinación que sintió desde niño por los Baltimore, que encarnaban la América patricia con sus vacaciones en Miami y en los Hamptons y sus colegios elitistas. Con el paso de los años la brillante pátina de los Baltimore se desvanece al tiempo que el Drama se va perfilando. Hasta el día en el que todo cambia para siempre.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

After impacting three million readers with The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair, Joël Dicker returns with Marcus Goldman in his new novel.

In just weeks, The Book of the Baltimores has reached the top of the lists of best sellers and we know why. We await any free minute in our daily life--on the subway, on the bus, standing in line--to immerse ourselves in reading it. -Toutelaculture.com

If you find this book, please read it. I want someone to know the story of the Goldman-de-Baltimores.

Until The Drama took place, there were two branches of the Goldman family: the Baltimore Goldmans and the Montclair Goldmans. The Montclairs, family of Marcus Goldman, author of The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair, is a middle-class family that lives in a small house in New Jersey. The Baltimores, prosperous and always lucky, live in a luxurious mansion in a high-society neighborhood in Baltimore.

Eight years after The Drama, Marcus Goldman puts the past under a microscope in search of the truth about the family's decline. Among the memories of his youth, he relives the fascination he felt from a young age toward the Baltimores, who embodied aristocratic America with their vacations in Miami and in the Hamptons and their elitist schools. With the passage of time, the brilliant sheen of the Baltimores faded at the same time that The Drama began to unfold. Until the day that everything changed forever.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Instant New York Times Bestseller

Unimpeachably terrific. --The New York Times Book Review
One of CBS This Morning's 6 Must-Have Titles for Your Summer Reading ListThe publishing phenomenon topping bestseller lists around the world, with sales of more than two million copies in Europe and rights sold in more than forty 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.

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?

Una noche de diciembre, un cadáver yace en el suelo de la habitación 622 del Palace de Verbier, un hotel de lujo en los Alpes suizos. La investigación policial no llegará nunca a término y el paso del tiempo hará que muchos olviden lo sucedido. Años más tarde, el escritor Joël Dicker llega a ese mismo hotel para recuperarse de una ruptura sentimental. No se imagina que terminará investigando el viejo crimen, y no lo hará solo: Scarlett, la bella huésped y aspirante a novelista de la habitación contigua, lo acompañará en la búsqueda mientras intenta aprender también las claves para escribir un buen libro.

Qué sucedió aquella noche en el Palace de Verbier? Es la gran pregunta de este thriller diabólico, construido con la precisión de un reloj suizo. Joël Dicker nos lleva finalmente a su país natal para narrarnos una investigación policial en la que se mezclan un triángulo amoroso, juegos de poder, traiciones y envidias en una Suiza no tan tranquila, donde la verdad es muy distinta a todo lo que hayamos imaginado.

Years later, the writer Joël Dicker arrives at that same hotel to recover from a broken heart. Yet he has no idea that he will end up investigating the old crime, and he will not do it alone: Scarlett, the beautiful guest and aspiring novelist in the room next door will accompany him on the search while also trying to learn the keys to writing a good book.

What happened that night at the Palace of Verbier? That is the big question in this devilish thriller, built with the precision of a Swiss watch.

«Seiscientas cincuenta páginas que nos harán adorar el insomnio. -Valérie Trierweiler, Paris Match

La noche del 30 de julio de 1994, la apacible población de Orphea, en la región de los Hamptons, asiste a la gran apertura del festival de teatro. Pero el alcalde se retrasa... Mientras tanto, un hombre recorre las calles vacías buscando a su mujer, hasta hallar su cadáver ante la casa del alcalde. Dentro, toda la familia ha sido asesinada.

Jesse Rosenberg y Derek Scott, dos jóvenes y brillantes policías de Nueva York, resuelven el caso. Pero veinte años más tarde, en la ceremonia de despedida de la policía a Rosenberg, la periodista Stephanie Mailer lo afronta: asegura que Dereck y Jesse se equivocaron de asesino a pesar de que la prueba estaba delante de sus ojos, y afirma poseer información clave. Días después, desaparece.

Así se inicia este colosal thriller, que avanza en el pasado y el presente a ritmo vertiginoso, sumando tramas, personajes, sorpresas y vueltas de tuerca, sacudiendo y precipitando al lector sin freno posible hacia el inesperado e inolvidable desenlace.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

More than four million readers have been anticipating it:

After The Truth comes The Disappearance.
Only Dicker could surpass himself.

The most powerful thriller in years: a work of enormous, constant ambition. Another sophisticated, addictive narrative mechanism.

The night of July 30, 1994, the placid town of Orphea in the Hamptons attends the grand opening of the theater festival. But the mayor is delayed... Meanwhile, Samuel Paladin speeds through the empty streets looking for his wife, until he finds her body in front of the mayor's house. Inside, the whole family has been killed.

Jesse Rosenberg and Derek Scott are the two young New York police officers who successfully solve the case, but twenty years later, at Rosenberg's retirement ceremony, journalist Stephanie Mailer confronts him: she claims that Jesse and Derek were wrong about the murder despite the proof in front of them, and that she holds key information. But days later, she disappears.

Thus begins this colossal thriller that progresses through the past and the present at a dizzying pace, adding plots, characters, surprises and twists, shaking and pushing the reader to the unexpected and unforgettable ending.

Por fin, la esperada continuación del fenómeno La verdad sobre el caso Harry Quebert. Más de 15 millones de lectores.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The first thriller by the phenomenon that is Jo l Dicker, author of La verdad sobre el caso Harry Quebert/The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair and El libro de los Baltimore/ The Baltimore Boys. This is a story with which he stunned the jury of a Young adult literary award, beautifully illustrated by David de las Heras.

When he was nineteen, Jo l Dicker sent in his work, El tigre to a literary award. Later, the president of the jury confessed that the jury had not taken his work into consideration because it seemed unreal that someone so young could have written such a story. Eight years later, Dicker received the Great Award by the French Academy, and the Goncourt des Lyc ens Award with La verdad sobre el caso Harry Quebert/The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair which has since become a literary phenomenon.

In this great first story, inspired by the great Russian and American classics, Dicker begins to dive into and play with his favorite themes (existentialism, life's important questions, violence, and the possibility of redemption) and he exhibits his great ability to capture the reader with a powerful story and greatly developed characters.
