Más allá de la urbanización está el bosque. Ese bosque oscuro y silencioso en el que los niños escapan para perseguir fantasmas, miedos y leyendas. Son sólo juegos. Hasta que no vuelven. La tarde del 14 de agosto de 1.984, tres niños de doce años, Jamie Rowan, Peter Savage y Adam Ryan, se adentraron en el bosque de Knocknaree, en las afueras de Dublín, nunca más salieron de él. Aunque la Policía encuentra esa misma noche a uno de ellos, Ryan, abrazado a un roble, con los zapatos llenos de sangre y un rostro de espanto, incapaz de recordar nada de las horas anteriores. Veinte años después, Ryan intentará definitivamente escapar de aquel bosque. Ahora se hace llamar Rob, es detective de Homicidios y sigue guardando con celo aquella pesadilla de la infancia. Hasta que encuentran el cuerpo de una niña de doce años asesinada en un escenario difícil de olvidar: el mismo bosque, el mismo terror, ninguna pista.

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.
