About this item

Un encuentro casual da comienzo a una impenetrable red de mentiras en este nuevo y apasionante thriller psicológico de Mary Kubica, cuya primera novela, Una buena chica, alcanzó gran éxito de ventas. Heidi Wood ve a una adolescente en el andén del tren, de pie bajo la lluvia, con un bebé en brazos. Sube al tren y se aleja. Pero no consigue quitarse a la chica de la cabeza. Heidi siempre ha sido una mujer caritativa: trabaja en una ONG, adopta gatos callejeros… Pero su marido y su hija quedan horrorizados cuando un buen día vuelve a casa con una joven llamada Willow y su bebé de cuatro meses. Aquella chica desaseada y sin hogar conocido podría ser una delincuente o algo peor. Pero, pese a las protestas de su familia, Heidi la invita a instalarse en su casa. Durante los días siguientes, Heidi la ayuda a restablecerse. Sin embargo, cuando comienzan a aflorar pistas sobre el pasado de Willow, se verá obligada a decidir hasta dónde está dispuesta a llegar para ayudar a una desconocida. Y lo que comienza siendo un acto de bondad se convierte rápidamente en una trama mucho más retorcida de lo que nadie podía imaginar. «¿Hasta dónde estarías dispuesto a llegar por ayudar a un desconocido?». A chance encounter sparks an unrelenting web of lies in this stunning new psychological thriller from New York Times bestselling author Mary Kubica. She sees the teenage girl on the train platform, standing in the pouring rain, clutching an infant in her arms. She boards a train and is whisked away. But she can’t get the girl out of her head… Heidi Wood has always been a charitable woman: she works for a nonprofit, takes in stray cats. Still, her husband and daughter are horrified when Heidi returns home one day with a young woman named Willow and her four-month-old baby in tow. Disheveled and apparently homeless, this girl could be a criminal—or worse. But despite her family’s objections, Heidi invites Willow and the baby to take refuge in their home. Heidi spends the next few days helping Willow get back on her feet, but as clues into Willow’s past begin to surface, Heidi is forced to decide how far she’s willing to go to help a stranger. What starts as an act of kindness quickly spirals into a story far more twisted than anyone could have anticipated.
