Sinopsis

A conspiracy thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author of Dune, “one of America's most intelligent, imaginative, and magnetic novelists” (Kirkus Reviews).   In pursuit of a scoop, American journalist Hal Garson follows up on a mysterious, desperate letter that points to the whereabouts of legendary author Antone Luac, who vanished without a trace in Mexico years ago. The celebrated writer’s disappearance is an enduring mystery, and Garson senses this story will make his career. Despite warnings, he travels to isolated Ciudad Brockman and begins asking questions . . . too many questions, which place him in the crossfire of a local crime lord, a Communist insurgent group, and finally to the imprisoned writer—and his beautiful daughter—who may not want to be found.

    Aaron Simmons has a gift, or perhaps a curse: he can hear the subtle, almost imperceptible tremor in a voice that signals a lie. It’s a skill that made him a brilliant journalist, but now it isolates him in a remote lakeside cabin, a refuge from the noise of a dishonest world. His only human contact is the weekly delivery from a quiet young man named Aiden, whose voice is a rare, soothing blanket of truth. This fragile peace shatters when Aaron hears a lie in Aiden’s words for the first time, a small, chilling falsehood about a missing local boy. 
    Driven by a compulsive need to uncover the truth, Aaron’s investigation pulls him into the dark undercurrent of the seemingly idyllic town. He discovers that Aiden is connected to a series of unresolved tragedies, and the young man’s past is a carefully constructed fiction. The more Aaron digs, the more he realizes his own sanctuary has been observed, and his unique ability has made him a target for forces that want certain secrets to stay buried. 
    As paranoia tightens its grip, Aaron can no longer trust the evidence before his eyes, only the betrayals in his ears. Every conversation becomes a minefield, and the line between hunter and hunted blurs. He must confront a terrifying possibility: what if the most dangerous lie is the one he has been telling himself all along?
