Description
In 1999, after three novels that achieved unprecedented success, the renowned novelist Nathan Fowles announces his retirement from writing and retreats to the picturesque Mediterranean island of Beaumont in search of tranquility.
In the autumn of 2018, journalist Mathilde Monnier breaks his seclusion, driven by curiosity about the writer’s disappearance of nearly twenty years and determined to uncover his secret. On the day of her arrival, the island is rocked by an earthquake. A woman’s body is found on the beach. Authorities establish a security perimeter around the island, and an investigation begins… A fierce confrontation also erupts between the novelist and the journalist, between a documented lie and an undeniable truth, between a dark and burdensome past and a present open to all possibilities.
A breathtaking narrative. A captivating literary text. A final scene that reveals a hellish scenario.
