Summary

El thriller de «terror más negro y existencialista» (La Repubblica), ganador del prestigioso Premio Scerbanenco, por Luca D’Andrea, renovador de la novela negra europea con más de 300.000 lectores en 42 países

«Maligna, frenética, despiadada. Cruda y violenta [...]. Un regalo que vale una consagración definitiva.» —La Stampa

«Un thriller de cotas altas [...]. Negrísimo.» —La Repubblica

Cuando la joven Marlene descubre en el invierno de 1974 que está embarazada de Herr Wegener, su marido y el hombre más temido de todo el Tirol, comprende que debe escapar si quiere criar a su hijo lejos de la violencia. Pero en su huida tiene un accidente de carretera del que la salva Simon Keller, un agricultor de montaña que vive al estilo tradicional tirolés.

Mientras este la cuida en su granja remota, Herr Wegener está decidido a defender como sea su reputación ante el Consorcio, la poderosa organización criminal a la que rinde pleitesía. La caza ha sido encomendada a un sicario infalible, tan frío como mortífero, apodado el Hombre de Confianza, que no se detendrá hasta cumplir su misión. Pronto Marlene no sabrá qué amenaza es mayor: su marido, el asesino sin nombre o Lissy, el misterio más oscuro de la granja de Keller.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"The thriller with the ‘blackest and most existentialist horror’ (La Repubblica), winner of the prestigious Scerbanenco Prize, by Luca D’Andrea, innovator of the European crime novel with more than 300,000 readers in 42 countries.

“Evil, frantic, ruthless. Raw and violent [...]. A gift worth a definitive consecration." —La Stampa

“A high-level thriller [...]. Very black.” —La Repubblica

When young Marlene discovers in the winter of 1974 that she is pregnant with Herr Wegener’s child, her husband and the most feared man in all of Tyrol, she realizes that she must escape from him if she wants to raise her child far away from violence. But while she’s on the run from him she has a car accident from which she is saved by Simon Keller, a mountain farmer who lives in the traditional Tyrolean style.

While he cares for her on his remote farm, Herr Wegener is determined to defend his reputation at all costs to the Consortium, the powerful criminal organization he pays homage to. The hunt has been entrusted to an infallible hit man, as cold as he is deadly, nicknamed the Trusted Man, who will not stop until he fulfills his mission. Soon Marlene won't know which threat is greater: her husband, the nameless killer, or Lissy, the darkest mystery on Keller's farm."
