Regla número uno: pase lo que pase, no digas nada.
Aidan Thomas es un hombre modelo, padre de familia, trabajador y muy querido en la pequeña comunidad donde vive. Pero detrás de esa fachada de aparente perfección oculta un oscuro secreto: tiene a una mujer secuestrada en su cobertizo.
Desde su cautiverio, Rachel lleva cinco años estudiando a Aidan para mantenerse con vida. Sabe que ha matado antes y que pronto hará lo mismo con ella; debe aprovechar la primera oportunidad que se le presente para escapar. Pero cuando Rachel descubra que su vida no es la única que está en juego, deberá decidir entre salvarse a sí misma o ayudar a las dos mujeres que corren el mismo peligro que ella: Cecilia, la hija de su captor, y Emily, la joven que ha empezado a enamorarse de él. Un thriller de enorme tensión que ha sido elegido como una de las mejores novelas negras de los últimos tiempos por The New York Times, The Washington Post y The Guardian, y que ha coronado a su autora, Clémence Michallon, como la nueva voz del suspenso psicológico.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
NATIONAL BEST SELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES BEST CRIME NOVEL OF THE YEAR • GMA BUZZ PICK “A bravura feat of storytelling...daring and completely satisfying.” —James Patterson, #1 best-selling author Aidan Thomas is a hard-working family man and a somewhat beloved figure in the small upstate New York town where he lives. He’s the kind of man who always lends a hand and has a good word for everyone. But Aidan has a dark secret he’s been keeping from everyone in town and those closest to him. He’s a kidnapper and serial killer. Aidan has murdered eight women and there’s a ninth he has earmarked for death: Rachel, imprisoned in a backyard shed, fearing for her life.When Aidan’s wife dies, he and his thirteen-year-old daughter Cecilia are forced to move. Aidan has no choice but to bring Rachel along, introducing her to Cecilia as a “family friend” who needs a place to stay. Aidan is betting on Rachel, after five years of captivity, being too brainwashed and fearful to attempt to escape. But Rachel is a fighter and survivor, and recognizes Cecilia might just be the lifeline she has waited for all these years. As Rachel tests the boundaries of her new living situation, she begins to form a tenuous connection with Cecilia. And when Emily, a local restaurant owner, develops a crush on the handsome widower, she finds herself drawn into Rachel and Cecilia’s orbit, coming dangerously close to discovering Aidan’s secret.
Told through the perspectives of Rachel, Cecilia, and Emily, The Quiet Tenant explores the psychological impact of Aidan’s crimes on the women in his life—and the bonds between those women that give them the strength to fight back. Both a searing thriller and an astute study of trauma, survival, and the dynamics of power, The Quiet Tenant is an electrifying debut thriller by a major talent.
