L’inspecteur Cassie Maddox travaille au département des violences domestiques. On est loin du temps où elle était agent infiltré. Sa première mission a été de se faire passer pour une étudiante à l’université de Dublin afin d’infiltrer un réseau de vendeurs de drogue. Son chef, Frank Mackey, et elle ont alors créé une nouvelle identité : Alexandra Madison. Cassie a donc été Lexie pendant quelques mois. Quelques années plus tard, Cassie est appelée sur les lieux d’un crime. Pourquoi elle alors qu’elle a quitté la brigade criminelle ? Elle le découvre en même temps qu’elle découvre le visage de la victime : c’est son portrait, elles se ressemblent comme deux gouttes d’eau. Son ancien chef, Frank, a alors une idée folle : taire la mort de Lexie Madison. Ainsi Cassie peut (re)prendre l’identité de Lexie et retourner à Whitethorn House où Lexie vivait entourée de ses quatre et uniques amis afin de mettre la brigade criminelle de Dublin sur la piste de l’assassin de Lexie.

From the writer who “inspires cultic devotion in readers” (The New Yorker) and has been called “incandescent” by Stephen King, “absolutely mesmerizing” by Gillian Flynn, and “unputdownable” (People) comes a gripping new novel that turns a crime story inside out. Toby is a happy-go-lucky charmer who’s dodged a scrape at work and is celebrating with friends when the night takes a turn that will change his life—he surprises two burglars who beat him and leave him for dead. Struggling to recover from his injuries, beginning to understand that he might never be the same man again, he takes refuge at his family’s ancestral home to care for his dying uncle Hugo. Then a skull is found in the trunk of an elm tree in the garden—and as detectives close in, Toby is forced to face the possibility that his past may not be what he has always believed. A spellbinding standalone from one of the best suspense writers working today, The Witch Elm asks what we become, and what we’re capable of, when we no longer know who we are.
