Book Synopsis



La nueva gran novela de Paula Hawkins, autora de La chica del tren.


Cuando la Tate Modern descubre que el hueso utilizado en una de las esculturas más famosas de la célebre y ya fallecida artista Vanessa Chapman es humano y no pertenece a un animal, como se creía, todas las miradas se centran en ella y en la misteriosa desaparición de su marido, Julian.


Temiendo la posible devaluación de la obra de la artista, Douglas Lennox, director de la Fundación Fairburn, envía al conservador James Becker a la remota isla escocesa en la que Vanessa vivía para investigar qué oculta el macabro hallazgo. Pero lo que parecía una empresa fácil pronto se convierte en algo mucho más oscuro, mucho más peligroso y mucho más imprevisible que puede poner en peligro su propia vida.


Ambientada en una isla escocesa accesible solo las horas del día en que baja la marea, La hora azul explora la tensión entre la libertad del genio creativo y la presión social, y señala con aterradora precisión cómo la luz con la que vemos a la gente que queremos a veces oculta su peor oscuridad. Una novela magistral con ecos de Patricia Highsmith o Alfred Hitchcock por una de las autoras de novela negra más importantes de las últimas décadas.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


The New Great Novel by Paula Hawkins, Author of The Girl on the Train


When the Tate Modern discovers that the bone used in one of the most famous sculptures by the renowned and now deceased artist Vanessa Chapman is human and not from an animal, as previously believed, all eyes turn to her and the mysterious disappearance of her husband, Julian.


Fearing the potential devaluation of the artist's work, Douglas Lennox, director of the Fairburn Foundation, sends curator James Becker to the remote Scottish island where Vanessa lived to investigate what the macabre discovery conceals. But what seemed like an easy task soon becomes something much darker, much more dangerous, and much more unpredictable, potentially putting his own life at risk.


Set on a Scottish island accessible only during the low tide hours, The Blue Hour explores the tension between the freedom of creative genius and social pressure, and highlights with terrifying precision how the light with which we see the people we love sometimes hides their darkest side. A masterful novel with echoes of Patricia Highsmith or Alfred Hitchcock by one of the most important crime fiction authors of recent decades.
