На продуваемом всеми ветрами побережье штата Мэн в уединенном коттедже Уайлдер Харлоу начинает свою последнюю книгу… Это история о солнечных днях его детства, проведенного в Свистящей бухте, и жестоком Убийце с кинжалом, наводящем страх на маленький курортный городок. Об ужасной находке, которую они с друзьями обнаружили в одной из пещер залива. И о клятве, принесенной в тот день. Но чем больше Уайлдер пишет, тем меньше верит себе и своим воспоминаниям. Он видит вещи, которые не могут существовать в реальности, — записки по всему дому от умершего друга, странную тонущую в море женщину и новые главы из книги, таинственным образом…

In a cottage overlooking the windswept Maine coast, Wilder Harlow has begun the last book he will ever write. It is the story about the sun-drenched summer days of his youth in Whistler Bay, and the blood-stained path of the killer that stalked his small vacation town. About the terrible secret he and his companions, Nat and Harper, discovered entombed in the coves off the bay. And how the pact they swore that day echoed down the decades, forever shaping their lives. But the more Wilder writes, the less he trusts himself and his memory. He starts to see things that can’t be real – notes hidden in the cabin, from an old friend now dead; a…

In a lonely cottage overlooking the windswept Maine coast, Wilder Harlow begins the last book he will ever write. It is the story of his childhood summer companions and the killer that stalked the small New England town. Of the body they found, and the horror of that discovery echoing down the decades. And of Sky, Wilder’s one-time best friend, who stole his unfinished memoir and turned it into a lurid bestselling novel, Looking Glass Sound. But as Wilder writes, the lines between memory and fiction blur. He fears he’s losing his grip on reality when he finds notes hidden around the cottage written in Sky’s signature green…

Plus qu'un magistral roman de genre, d'une singularité confondante, Catriona Ward nous propose ici une réflexion sur la mémoire, le passé, les traumatismes et les récits que l'on s'en fait. Un ouvrage qui hante le lecteur bien après avoir refermé la dernière page. Été 1989. Les parents de Wilder Harlow viennent d'hériter d'un cottage dominant les côtes du Maine. L'adolescent, plutôt mal dans sa peau, fait la connaissance sur la plage d'une jeune fille, Harper, et d'un garçon, Nathaniel. Très vite, le trio devient inséparable. Mais malgré le tableau idyllique du bord de mer, des balades en bateau, des amitiés naissantes et des secrets…
