Overview
M.W. Craven, autor ganador del Premio CWA Gold Dagger al mejor thriller del año.
Tras El show de las marionetas, la nueva tormenta se aproxima.
Jared Keaton, el chef de las estrellas. Encantador. Carismático. Psicópata…
Jared se encuentra cumpliendo cadena perpetua por el brutal asesinato de su hija Elizabeth. Su cuerpo nunca fue hallado y Keaton fue condenado en gran parte por el testimonio del detective Washington Poe.
Cuando una joven mujer se presenta a las puertas de una remota comisaría de policía con evidencias irrefutables de que ella es Elizabeth Keaton, Poe se encontrará con el dilema de una investigación que bien podría costarle mucho más que su propia carrera profesional.
Con la ayuda de la única persona en la que confía, la brillante pero socialmente compleja Tilly Bradshaw, Poe emprende una carrera contra reloj para responder la única pregunta que importa: ¿Cómo puede una persona estar viva y muerta al mismo tiempo?
Y de pronto, Elizabeth desaparece de nuevo, y todas las pistas de la investigación señalan otra vez a Poe.

After The Puppet Show, a new storm is coming . . .
Jared Keaton, chef to the stars. Charming. Charismatic. Psychopath . . . He's currently serving a life sentence for the brutal murder of his daughter, Elizabeth. Her body was never found and Keaton was convicted largely on the testimony of Detective Sergeant Washington Poe.
So when a young woman staggers into a remote police station with irrefutable evidence that she is Elizabeth Keaton, Poe finds himself on the wrong end of an investigation, one that could cost him much more than his career.
Helped by the only person he trusts, the brilliant but socially awkward Tilly Bradshaw, Poe races to answer the only question that matters: how can someone be both dead and alive at the same time?
And then Elizabeth goes missing again - and all paths of investigation lead back to Poe.
The gripping new thriller in the Washington Poe series from M. W. Craven, winner of the CWA Gold Dagger Award for best crime novel of 2019.
