ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
More than four million readers have been anticipating it:
After The Truth comes The Disappearance.
Only Dicker could surpass himself.
The most powerful thriller in years: a work of enormous, constant ambition. Another sophisticated, addictive narrative mechanism.
The night of July 30, 1994, the placid town of Orphea in the Hamptons attends the grand opening of the theater festival. But the mayor is delayed... Meanwhile, Samuel Paladin speeds through the empty streets looking for his wife, until he finds her body in front of the mayor’s house. Inside, the whole family has been killed.
Jesse Rosenberg and Derek Scott are the two young New York police officers who successfully solve the case, but twenty years later, at Rosenberg’s retirement ceremony, journalist Stephanie Mailer confronts him: she claims that Jesse and Derek were wrong about the murder despite the proof in front of them, and that she holds key information. But days later, she disappears.
Thus begins this colossal thriller that progresses through the past and the present at a dizzying pace, adding plots, characters, surprises and twists, shaking and pushing the reader to the unexpected and unforgettable ending.

Joël Dicker nació en Suiza en 1985. En 2010 obtuvo el Premio de los Escritores Ginebrinos con su primera novela, Los últimos días de nuestros padres (Alfaguara, 2014). La verdad sobre el caso Harry Quebert (Alfaguara, 2013), fue galardonada con el Premio Goncourt des Lycéens, el Gran Premio de Novela de la Academia Francesa, el Premio Lire a la mejor novela en lengua francesa, y, en España, fue elegida Mejor Libro del Año por los lectores de El País y mereció el Premio Qué Leer al mejor libro traducido y el XX Premio San Clemente otorgado por los alumnos de bachillerato de varios institutos de Galicia. Traducida con gran éxito a treinta y tres idiomas, se ha convertido en un fenómeno literario global. Tras El Libro de los Baltimore (Alfaguara, 2016), enbla que recuperaba el personaje de Marcus Goldman como protagonista, La desaparición de Stephanie Mailer es su esperada nueva novela. Alfaguara también ha publicado El tigre, un relato escrito cuando Dicker contaba con diecinueve años y que por su calidad un jurado literario no creyó que fuera suyo.
