Book Synopsis



El autor español de éxito internacional, Paul Pen, regresa con un inquietante thriller psicológico.

Elmer y Rose han creado una familia perfecta entre los enormes cactus de un remoto paisaje desértico, un hogar lleno de amor para sus cinco hijas, todas con nombres de flor: Edelweiss, Iris, Melissa, Dahlia y Daisy.

Pero la inesperada llegada de Rick, un excursionista en busca de refugio, revoluciona a las hermanas. Y cuando Elmer y Rose descubren que el muchacho no es quien dice ser, el enfrentamiento que librarán -una lucha entre la verdad y la mentira, la justicia y el crimen- destapará terribles secretos que cambiarán para siempre la vida de todos ellos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Rose and Elmer have created an idyllic sanctuary for themselves and their five daughters in Mexico's Baja California desert. Out there in the middle of nowhere, blissfully cut off from the burdens of modern society, they're free to raise their beautiful family...and preserve its secret.

And they're never giving it up.

Then a young hiker named Rick comes looking for a place to stay. It's just for the night, he says―but long enough for Rose and Elmer to fear they've made a horrible mistake. As the stranger grows more intrusive and more suspicious, the couple know they must do what they can to protect themselves. What they don't know is that Rick has a secret, too. Soon, home and family will prove to be as cold and dark as the desert nights. And even with so many places to run, there's still no escape from the past that binds them.



About the Author



Escritor y guionista, Paul Pen es autor de seis novelas: El brillo de las luciérnagas (Plaza & Janés, 2013), La casa entre los cactus (Plaza & Janés, 2017), El aviso (Plaza & Janés, 2018) y Un matrimonio perfecto (Plaza & Janés, 2019), además de La metamorfosis infinita (2022) y A un lado de la carretera (2024). También ha publicado las colecciones de relatos Trece historias y Relatos a medianoche.

Sus obras traducidas al inglés han alcanzado en Estados Unidos lo más alto de las listas de ventas, superando los 200.000 ejemplares vendidos. Su primera novela, El aviso, fue llevada a la gran pantalla en 2018. Una segunda adaptación al cine, la de La casa entre los cactus, cuenta con guion del propio autor y llegó a las salas en 2022.

La escritura de Paul Pen es una potente experiencia para la mente, el corazón y los nervios. Su manejo del suspense es igualmente capaz de impactar y emocionar, de horrorizar y conmover, combinando a la perfección la luz y la oscuridad, el amor y el terror. Su estilo certero, sencillo pero profundo, con ecos de Dahl, de Hitchcock o de King, atrae tanto a seguidores casuales amantes de los superventas como a los más oscuros y sofisticados lectores.
