About the Book

Un autor premiado con los más prestigiosos premios de novela negra y con el Premio Goncourt, con medio millón de ejemplares vendidos.

La gran novela que supuso el inicio de la fulgurante carrera internacional de Lemaitre.

Alex Uno de los mejores libros del año según el Financial Times, ganador del Premio de Lectores de Novela Negra de Livre de Poche, ganador del Premio Goncourt, del Dagger Award y del Premio de Novela Negra Europea, con más de medio millón de lectores en Europa.

Han pasado varios años desde el caso del asesino en serie que trastocó para siempre su vida, y el comandante Camille Verhoeven aún no se ha repuesto del todo cuando un nuevo desafío vuelve a implicarlo personal y profesionalmente: Alex, una mujer de treinta años, ha desaparecido. Cada minuto que pasa puede ser el último. Y él no se lo perdonaría nunca. El autor de Vestido de novia e Irène vuelve a sacudirnos con este thriller escalofriante, una trama diabólica e imprevisible que le confirma como el rey de la novela negra. Alex catapultó a Lemaitre a la fama internacional, al ser aclamado como el sucesor de Stieg Larsson, hoy su estilo es reconocido como único e inconfundible, con una legión de seguidores.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Upon winning the prestigious 2013 Crime Writers Association International Dagger Award, the judges praised Alex by saying, "An original and absorbing ability to leash incredulity in the name of the fictional contract between author and reader... A police procedural, a thriller against time, a race between hunted and hunter, and a whydunnit, written from multiple points of view that explore several apparently parallel stories which finally meet."

Alex Prevost--kidnapped, savagely beaten, suspended from the ceiling of an abandoned warehouse in a tiny wooden cage--is running out of time. Her abductor appears to want only to watch her die. Will hunger, thirst, or the rats get her first?

Apart from a shaky eyewitness report of the abduction, Police Commandant Camille Verhoeven has nothing to go on: no suspect, no leads, and no family or friends anxious to find a missing loved one. The diminutive and brilliant detective knows from bitter experience the urgency of finding the missing woman as quickly as possible--but first he must understand more about her.

As he uncovers the details of the young woman's singular history, Camille is forced to acknowledge that the person he seeks is no ordinary victim. She is beautiful, yes, but also extremely tough and resourceful. Before long, saving Alex's life will be the least of Commandant Verhoeven's considerable challenges.

About the Author: Pierre Lemaitre nació en París en 1951. Antes de ganar el Premio Goncourt 2013 con Nos vemos allá arriba, ya era un escritor de renombre en el género de la novela policiaca. Con Irène (Alfaguara 2015, Premio a la Primera Novela Policiaca del Festival de Cognac, Premio San Clemente, considerada Mejor Novela Negra del Año por El Periódico de Catalunya) inició la serie protagonizada por el comandante Camille Verhoeven, que incluye Alex (Alfaguara 2015, Dagger Award 2013, Premio de Lectores de Novela Negra de Livre de Poche 2012 y uno de los libros del año según el Financial Times, en curso de adaptación al cine), Rosy & John (Alfaguara 2016) y Camille (Alfaguara 2016, Dagger Award 2015). Fuera de la serie llegaron, con una extraordinaria recepción por parte del público y de la crítica, Vestido de novia (Alfaguara 2014, Premio del Salon du Polar 2009 y Premio Best Novel Valencia Negra, en curso de adaptación al cine), Recursos inhumanos (Alfaguara 2017, Premio de Novela Negra Europea, en curso de adaptación como serie de televisión) y Tres días y una vida (2016). Además del Goncourt y de tres Dagger Awards, ha obtenido el Premio a la Mejor Novela Francesa 2013 de la revista Lire, el Premio Roman France Télévisions y el Premio de los Libreros de Nancy-Le Point, y su obra, con más de tres millones de lectores, está siendo traducida a treinta idiomas.
