Mejor Thriller 2022 del New York Times

"Suspenso constante." --Stephen King

Heather Baxter ha logrado cambiar de vida: se ha casado con Tom, un joven y brillante médico, viudo y padre de dos hijos. Cuando su flamante marido recibe una invitación para asistir a un congreso en Australia, deciden que toda la familia lo acompañe para afianzar la relación entre Heather y los hijos adolescentes de Tom.

Visitar la minúscula Isla Holandesa parece un sueño hecho realidad: koalas, canguros y aves exóticas al alcance de la mano, algo imposible de experimentar en ningún otro lugar del mundo. Sin embargo, lo que parecían unas idílicas vacaciones acabará tomando un rumbo muy distinto. "La Holandesa" es una isla privada dominada por el clan de los O'Neill, una familia que no perdonará un lamentable accidente, y convertirá las vacaciones de Tom y Heather en una auténtica pesadilla.

"Unrelenting suspense." --Stephen King

IT WAS JUST SUPPOSED TO BE A FAMILY VACATION.
A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT CHANGED EVERYTHING.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE CAPABLE OF UNTIL THEY COME FOR YOUR FAMILY.

After moving from a small country town to Seattle, Heather Baxter marries Tom, a widowed doctor with a young son and teenage daughter. A working vacation overseas seems like the perfect way to bring the new family together, but once they're deep in the Australian outback, the jet-lagged and exhausted kids are so over their new mom.

But as soon as they set foot on the island, which is run by a tightly knit clan of locals, everything feels wrong. Then a shocking accident propels the Baxters from an unsettling situation into an absolute nightmare.

When Heather and the kids are separated from Tom, they are forced to escape alone, seconds ahead of their pursuers. Now it's up to Heather to save herself and the kids, even though they don't trust her, the harsh bushland is filled with danger, and the locals want her dead.

Heather has been underestimated her entire life, but she knows that only she can bring her family home again and become the mother the children desperately need, even if it means doing the unthinkable to keep them all alive.
