NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “It’s Lovecraft meets the Brontës in Latin America, and after a slow-burn start, it gets seriously weird.” —The Guardian ONE OF TIME’S 100 BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER BOOKS OF ALL TIME • WINNER OF THE LOCUS AWARD • NOMINATED FOR THE BRAM STOKER AWARD ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, NPR, The Washington Post, and more. An isolated mansion, a chillingly charismatic aristocrat, and a brave socialite determined to uncover treacherous secrets. Set in 1950s Mexico, after receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin pleading for help, Noemí Taboada travels to High Place, a remote house in the countryside. Unfamiliar with the region and her cousin’s handsome English husband, Noemí is an unlikely rescuer, more accustomed to cocktail parties than sleuthing. Yet, her toughness and intelligence drive her forward, undeterred by the menacing allure of her cousin’s husband or the ancient patriarch fascinated by her. As Noemí navigates the eerie house that invades her dreams with visions of blood, her only ally is the family’s gentle youngest son, who may harbor dark secrets. Digging deeper, Noemí uncovers a legacy of violence and madness hidden within the walls of High Place, and she may soon find it impossible to escape the seductive grip of this enigmatic house.
