Summary

Cuatro amigos y alumnos de un curso de Escritura Creativa en la universidad.
Un asesinato sin cadáver por el que uno de ellos pagó.

Una investigación que demostrará que un inocente fue a la cárcel.

¿Qué es más importante: contar una buena historia o desenterrar la verdad?

2008. Zack Levines es un periodista treintañero en paro que vive en casa de su madre. Para solucionar sus apuros económicos, decide escribir un best seller y contar una historia que lleva doce años enterrada pero que no ha conseguido olvidar. Desde el primer momento tiene muy claro que esta novela se titulará El asesino inocente y que le obligará a contactar con quienes un día fueron sus mejores amigos.

1996. A los diecinueve años, Zack llega a la Universidad de Lund dispuesto a exprimir la vida. Con esas ansias de libertad, asiste a un curso de Creación Literaria que dirige la carismática y sensual profesora Li Karpe. Zack conecta enseguida con tres de sus compañeros y la profesora los elige para presentarles a Leo Stark, un escritor enigmático y manipulador que les fascina y repele al mismo tiempo. Pero una noche Leo Stark desaparece y los sueños de los cuatro jóvenes se convierten en una pesadilla.

Una historia casi verdadera es una obra sobre la juventud, la amistad, la ambición y la verdad; una novela en la que escribir se convierte en una cuestión de vida o muerte.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Four friends, students in a Creative Writing course at the university. A murder without a body that one of them paid dearly for. An investigation that shows that an innocent person went to jail. What is more important: telling a good story or digging up the truth?

2008. Zack Levines is an unemployed journalist who lives in his mother’s house. To solve his economic woes, he decides to write a bestseller and tell a story that has been buried for twelve years. From the outset, he knows that this novel will be titled The Innocent Killer and that it will oblige him to contact people who used to be his best friends.

1996. At the age of 19, Zack arrives at the University of Lund ready for adventure. He enrolls in a writing course led by the alluring Professor Li Karpe. The professor chooses to introduce Zack and three of his classmates to Leo Stark, an enigmatic, manipulative writer who both fascinates and repulses them. But one night, Leo Stark disappears and the dreams of the four young people become nightmares.

An Almost-True Story is a tale of youth, friendship, ambition, and truth; a novel in which writing becomes a matter of life and death.
