Audiobook
Un thriller intenso y emotivo que corta la respiración y nos obliga a suponer y deducir página tras página hasta el final. Después de la caída es Dennis Lehane en su mejor versión, una nueva vuelta de tuerca de uno de los grandes escritores del noir norteamericano. Después de triunfar con la serie de los inolvidables detectives bostonianos Kenzie y Gennaro, de recibir el aplauso unánime por la tensión dramática y lírica de Mystic River y haberse consagrado con su trilogía histórica criminal de Joe Coughlin, Dennis Lehane nos sorprende con una trama de suspense psicológico. Rachel Childs superó una infancia difícil hasta convertirse en una intrépida periodista de éxito en busca permanente de la verdad. Sin embargo, cuando le toca cubrir la catástrofe humanitaria de Haití como enviada especial, Rachel sufre una crisis nerviosa en directo que acaba con la confianza en sí misma, con su carrera y con su matrimonio. En plena lucha contra la agorafobia y los ataques de pánico, conoce a Brian, un hombre especial que la entiende y la apoya. Su amor incondicional la ayuda a reponerse, hasta que un encuentro casual en una tarde lluviosa hace que su vida se tambalee de nuevo. Rachel tiene que tomar entonces una decisión: ¿será capaz de poner en riesgo su bienestar para averiguar la verdad? ¿O tal vez su mente sigue jugando con ella? Mediante un personaje femenino profundo y complejo, Lehane traspasa hábilmente las convenciones del género negro y bifurca la trama en múltiples direcciones y recodos impredecibles. Como un buen saxofonista del jazz más cool, se aleja de ella a su antojo y siempre regresa en el momento exacto. La crítica ha dicho... «Cuando se trata de meter a un personaje de enorme complejidad humana en una situación llena de suspense que nos obligue a pasar páginas sin parar, Lehane es un maestro. En pocas palabras: lo odio. Pero leo todo lo que escribe.» Gillian Flynn «Lehane escribe thrillers fascinantes con gran oficio. [...] Es uno de los autores que cambiaron las reglas del juego al romper la frontera imaginaria entre la gran literatura y el género negro para demostrar que puede tenerse lo mejor de ambos a la vez.» Tana French «Compleja, tensa, cautivadora, Después de la caída es un salón de espejos emocionales y estratégicos en el que nada resulta ser lo que parece. Yo seguiría a Dennis Lehane a cualquier parte.» Lee Child «Uno no lee Después de la caída, más bien se zambulle en ella y luego avanza a sobresaltos por sus páginas, como una balsa en aguas bravas.» Richard Price «Lehane se confirma como uno de los grandes reyes diabólicos del thriller; parece tener una relación íntima con las tinieblas y es capaz de asomarse a ellas en todas las páginas.» The New York Times
