500 $a"Originally published in French as La verite sur l'affaireHarry Quebert by Les Editions de Fallois, Paris.
520 $a" The #1 internationally bestselling thriller, and ingenious book within a book, about the disappearance of a15-year-old New Hampshire girl and, 30 years later, a young American writer's determination to clear his mentor's name-and find the inspiration for his next bestseller August 30, 1975: the day fifteen-year-old Nola Kellergan is glimpsed fleeing through the woods before shedisappears; the day Somerset, New Hampshire, lost its innocence. Thirty-three years later, Marcus Goldman, a successful young novelist, visits Somerset to see his mentor, Harry Quebert, one of America's most respected writers, and to find a cure for his writer's block as his publisher's deadline looms. But Marcus's plans are violently upended when Harry is suddenly and sensationallyimplicated in the cold-case murder of Nola Kellergan-whom,he admits, he had an affair with. As the national media convicts Harry, Marcus launches his own investigation, following a trail of clues through his mentor's books, thebackwoods and isolated beaches of New Hampshire, and the hidden history of Somerset's citizens and the man they hold most dear. To save Harry, his writing career, and eventually even himself, Marcus must answer three questions, all of which are mysteriously connected: Who killed Nola Kellergan? What happened one misty morning in Somerset in the summer of 1975? And how do you write a successful and true novella? A global phenomenon, with sales approaching a million copies in France alone and rights sold in more than thirty countries, The Truth Aboutthe Harry Quebert Affair is a fast-paced, tightly plotted,cinematic literary thriller, and an ingenious book within a book, by a dazzling young writer"--$cProvided by publisher.
