A crime story. A love story. A global phenomenon. More than 7 million copies sold.

August 30, 1975. The day of the disappearance. The day Somerset, New Hampshire, lost its innocence. That summer, struggling author Harry Quebert fell in love with Nola Kellergan. Thirty-three years later, her body is unearthed from his garden, along with a manuscript copy of the novel that made him famous. Quebert is the only suspect.

Marcus Goldman, Quebert's most talented student, overcomes his writer's block to clear his mentor's name. The solution to the case and the writing of a new bestseller soon merge into one. As his book begins to take on a life of its own, the nation is captivated by the mystery of 'The Girl Who Touched the Heart of America.' But with Nola, in death as in life, nothing is ever as it seems.
