Quand Jason Dessen se réveille, il se trouve dans un monde qui n'est pas le sien. Son épouse n'est plus son épouse, son fils n'est jamais né, un complet inconnu se prétend son ami de toujours. Et Jason n'est ici pas un simple professeur de physique, mais un véritable génie à l'origine d'une découverte époustouflante. La seule chose dont il se souvient, c'est qu'un soir, en rentrant chez lui, il a été kidnappé par un inconnu masqué auquel il a été impossible d'arracher la moindre explication. De toute manière, ce dernier lui a dit que même s'il lui expliquait tout, Jason refuserait d'y croire.

A century-old mystery - and a desperate battle to survive. Abandon is a compulsive standalone thriller from Blake Crouch, the New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter and Recursion.

A century-old mystery, and a desperate battle to survive . . .

On Christmas Day in 1893, every man, woman, and child in a remote mining town disappeared, belongings forsaken, meals left to freeze in vacant cabins, and not a single bone found.

Now, journalist Abigail Foster and her historian father have set out to explore the long-abandoned town and learn what happened. With them are two backcountry guides along with a psychic and a paranormal photographer who are there to investigate rumours that the town is haunted.

But Abigail and her companions are about to learn that the town''s ghosts are the least of their worries. Twenty miles from civilization, with a blizzard bearing down, they realize they are not alone.

The ordeal that follows will test this small team past the breaking point as they battle the elements and human foes alike and discover that the town''s secrets still have the power to kill.

Part journey into old-West history, part nail-biting survival thriller, Abandon is a bloody, darkly surprising tale as only Blake Crouch could deliver. Lire la suite Fermer
