The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair

Book 1 of 1 in Marcus Goldman

The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair is more than just a crime story. It has been described as a big, fat, intelligent thriller that has captivated readers and critics alike.

On August 30, 1975, the small town of Somerset, New Hampshire, was shaken by the disappearance of a young girl, marking the day it lost its innocence. That fateful summer, Harry Quebert, an author struggling with his craft, fell in love with fifteen-year-old Nola Kellergan. Decades later, Nola's body is unearthed in Quebert's garden, along with a manuscript of the novel that skyrocketed him to fame. Quebert becomes the prime suspect in a case that captures the nation's attention.

Marcus Goldman, Quebert's most talented student, seeks to exonerate his mentor while overcoming his own writer's block. As he delves into the mystery, his efforts to write a new bestseller become intertwined with the case, and the story he's writing starts to reflect real-life events in eerie ways. The country is enthralled by the enigma of 'The Girl Who Touched the Heart of America', but as with Nola's enigmatic life, in death, things are not as they seem.

This novel promises to be a thrilling journey that questions the boundaries between truth and fiction, love and memory, and ultimately, innocence and guilt.
