是誰殺了諾拉？
「我希望你學寫作，馬庫斯，我不是要你知道怎麼寫，我是要你成為作家。因為寫書可不是隨隨便便的事：每個人都會寫，可是不是每個人都是作家。」
「可是哈利，要怎麼樣才知道我們是作家呢？」
「沒有人知道他自己是作家，這是要別人來跟他說的。」
二十八歲的馬庫斯‧勾德曼，在兩年前出版了第一本小說，旋即躍升為全美超級暢銷新銳，結果在收了出版社鉅額的預付版稅之後，就得了作家病，可怕的「白紙症候群」。一個字都寫不出來的他，為了躲避出版社和文學經紀人的奪命連環call，決定逃到新罕布夏州的歐若拉鎮拜訪他的恩師，也是美國文壇巨擘哈利‧柯伯特（Harry
Quebert）。本來想靠恩師幫忙找回創作靈感的他，卻在偶然間發現哈利不可告人的祕密。原來哈利在三十四歲時，愛上了十五歲的少女諾拉‧凱勒岡，並計劃要私奔，但約定見面那晚，諾拉卻離奇失蹤了。沒想到馬庫斯從歐諾拉鎮回到紐約沒多久，失蹤了三十三年的諾拉的骨骸，竟在哈利的院子被發現，而哈利也在自宅遭到警方逮捕。堅信哈利無罪的馬庫斯，決定再訪歐諾拉鎮，並寫下《HQ事件的真相》，找出到底是誰殺了諾拉！
二〇一二年九月二十日，二十七歲的喬艾爾‧狄克的《HQ事件的真相》出版了。這本書光在法國三個月內就狂銷500,000冊，更在一年後銷售超過2,000,000冊。如今，喬艾爾‧狄克是法國近十年來最振奮人心的新銳，而美國亞馬遜書店更封他為「年度最亮眼新星！」

The #1 internationally bestselling thriller, and ingenious book within a book, about the disappearance of a 15-year-old New Hampshire girl and, 30 years later, a young American writer's
determination to clear his mentor's name — and find the inspiration for his next bestseller
August 30, 1975: the day fifteen-year-old Nola Kellergan is glimpsed fleeing through the woods before she disappears; the day Somerset, New Hampshire, lost its innocence.
Thirty-three years later, Marcus Goldman, a successful young novelist, visits Somerset to see his mentor, Harry Quebert, one of America's most respected writers, and to find a cure for his
writer's block as his publisher's deadline looms. But Marcus's plans are violently upended when Harry is suddenly and sensationally implicated in the cold-case murder of Nola Kellergan —
whom, he admits, he had an affair with. As the national media convicts Harry, Marcus launches his own investigation, following a trail of clues through his mentor's books, the backwoods and
isolated beaches of New Hampshire, and the hidden history of Somerset's citizens and the man they hold most dear. To save Harry, his writing career, and eventually even himself, Marcus must
answer three questions, all of which are mysteriously connected: Who killed Nola Kellergan? What happened one misty morning in Somerset in the summer of 1975? And how do you write a
successful and true novel?
A global phenomenon, with sales approaching a million copies in France alone and rights sold in more than thirty countries, The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair is a fast-paced, tightly
plotted, cinematic literary thriller, and an ingenious book within a book, by a dazzling young writer.
