Victoria Anton, a famous writer, lives under assumed names, moves from place to place, and no one knows her face. Her books are popular, her life flows unnoticed. But one day, someone sends her a newspaper article about a massacre in a red farmhouse near the Italian town of Nazareth, an event so insignificant it could easily be given a fictitious name.
In that red house, in deathly silence, in the eerie pre-dawn hours, something terrible happened. Completely inexplicable, although the killer did not deny his guilt and immediately confessed. And so Victoria sets off for Nazareth. She's fleeing from an anonymous person who can't know her, but knows her name and where she lives. She also hopes to investigate this mysterious case and write a novel—to become the next Truman Capote, to create a new "In Cold Blood." Because some stories, once they're revealed, sink their claws into us and hold us tight. You can't shake them off. Victoria Anton didn't.
She'll pay dearly for her creative impulse, but she'll write the novel. It's right here in front of you.
What happened in the red house? How did a happy family nest turn into hell? Whose hands is that blood on? And who's staring at us from the window?
Donato Carrisi, a leading star of European suspense literature, a writer and filmmaker whose books have been translated into 33 languages, have sold over 5 million copies, and have won numerous awards, returns with a new hypnotic thriller that pushes both characters and readers to the very limits of rationality. This is a book with a secret. There's no escaping it.
