On July 2, 2022, two criminals set out to rob a jewellery shop in Geneva.
But even with a foolproof plan, their “perfect” heist will prove far from uneventful…
Twenty days earlier, on a luxurious estate along the shores of Lake Geneva, Sophie Braun prepares to celebrate her fortieth birthday.
Her life seems perfect: she has a fairytale marriage, two perfect children, and lives in a stylish modern mansion surrounded by lush forest.
But her idyllic world is about to crumble.
Her husband is becoming embroiled in petty schemes.
Her neighbour, a policeman with a spotless reputation, is obsessed with her and spies on the most intimate moments of her life.
Then, on her birthday, she receives a gift from a mysterious prowler that endangers her life.
It will take many journeys into the past, far from Geneva, to unravel the origins of this diabolical plot from which no one will emerge unscathed, including readers.
Told at a breathtaking pace, filled with nerve-jangling suspense, Wild Animal demonstrates once again why Joël Dicker – since the publication of The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair – reigns supreme as one of the most beloved contemporary mystery writers in the world today.
