CHRIS PAVONE

Ariel despierta, sola. Su esposo parece haberse ido, sin avisar, sin dejar una nota, sin contestar su móvil. ¿Salió a correr y lo asaltaron? ¿Secuestrado? ¿Asesinado? ¿Podría ser secretamente un estafador, un traficante de drogas? ¿Un espia? ¿Tal vez se acobardo con este matrimonio y la dejo? Comienza por consultar al personal del hotel, luego a la policia, despues a la embajada de Estados Unidos, y cada vez se enfrenta a mas preguntas que no puede responder: ¿A que vino exactamente John a Lisboa? ¿Quien querria hacerle daño? ¿Como es que Ariel sabe tan poco sobre su nuevo esposo? ¿Por que la arrastro en su viaje de negocios? Recorre las antiguas calles, cada vez mas frustrada, desesperada, al borde del colapso. De pronto, una motocicleta chirria al detenerse a su lado, el conductor le arroja algo y desaparece. Es un movil. Esta sonando.Los minutos y las horas vuelan, a Ariel ya no le queda casi tiempo y no tiene mas remedio que recurrir a la unica persona que jamas querria volver a ver.

As Kate begins to dig, to uncover the secrets of those around her, she finds herself buried in layers of deceit so thick they threaten her family, her marriage - and her life.

For him, quite simply, it must never see the light of day.As Isabel and Hayden try to outwit each other, the nameless author watches on from afar. With no-one quite sure who holds all the cards, the stakes couldnt be higher: in just one day careers could be ruined, devastating secrets could be unearthed, and innocent people could die. As the manuscript moves from person to person, it leaves a trail of bodies in its wake.Gripping, sophisticated, and impossible to put down, The Accident is a masterful follow-up to one of the most acclaimed and striking debut thrillers of recent years.
