Un debutto indimenticabile e commovente su come un incontro casuale con un elenco di libri della biblioteca aiuti a forgiare un'amicizia improbabile tra due persone molto diverse in un sobborgo di Londra. Mukesh, vedovo, vive una vita tranquilla a Wembley, dopo aver perso la moglie amata. Fa la spesa ogni mercoledì, va al Tempio e si preoccupa per la nipote Priya, che si rifugia nella sua stanza a leggere mentre lui trascorre le serate guardando documentari sulla natura. Aleisha è una brillante ma ansiosa adolescente che lavora nella biblioteca locale per l'estate quando scopre un foglio spiegazzato nel retro di "Il buio oltre la siepe". È un elenco di romanzi che non ha mai sentito nominare. Incuriosita e un po' annoiata dal suo lavoro lento alla cassa, decide impulsivamente di leggere ogni libro della lista, uno dopo l'altro. Man mano che ogni storia rivela la sua magia, i libri trasportano Aleisha dalle dolorose realtà che affronta a casa. Quando Mukesh arriva in biblioteca, desideroso di stabilire un legame con la nipote, Aleisha gli passa la lista di lettura, sperando che possa essere una salvezza anche per lui. Lentamente, i libri condivisi creano un legame tra due anime solitarie, mentre la finzione li aiuta a sfuggire al dolore e ai problemi quotidiani e a ritrovare la gioia.
*INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER* "Propulsive and chilling." --People Magazine "An intoxicating thrill ride. Hillier jams her foot on the accelerator and never lets up." --New York Times Book Review Things We Do in the Dark is a brilliant new thriller from Jennifer Hillier, the award-winning author of the breakout novels Little Secrets and Jar of Hearts. Paris Peralta is suspected of killing her celebrity husband, and her long-hidden past now threatens to destroy her future. When Paris Peralta is arrested in her own bathroom—covered in blood, holding a straight razor, her celebrity husband dead in the bathtub behind her—she knows she'll be charged with murder. But as bad as this looks, it's not what worries her the most. With the unwanted media attention now surrounding her, it's only a matter of time before someone from her long hidden past recognizes her and destroys the new life she's worked so hard to build, along with any chance of a future. Twenty-five years earlier, Ruby Reyes, known as the Ice Queen, was convicted of a similar murder in a trial that riveted Canada in the early nineties. Reyes knows who Paris really is, and when she's unexpectedly released from prison, she threatens to expose all of Paris's secrets. Left with no other choice, Paris must finally confront the dark past she escaped, once and for all. Because the only thing worse than a murder charge are two murder charges.

Přivážejí je živé. Odvážejí je mrtvé.
Napřed mi ale musejí svěřit svoji zpověď a tentokrát se všechny nějak týkají rodiny.
Jmenuju se Jack Steen. To jméno by pro vás nemělo nic znamenat. Pokud se nechystáte umřít. To se pak ze mě stává váš anděl strážný. Pracuju jako noční ošetřovatel v ústavu pro choromyslné zločince.

Jestli máte za ušima a jste dost pomatení na to, abyste četli mezi řádky, dojde vám, kdo tenhle příběh vypráví. Možná se mi jen snaží zblbnout hlavu a sehrát se mnou svou poslední hru. A možná, že zblbnou hlavu i vám.
