Der 28-jährige Toby wird eines Nachts in seiner Wohnung in Dublin brutal zusammengeschlagen und überlebt nur knapp. Den Grund für diese Tat kennt er nicht. Er zieht sich in das alte Stadthaus der Familie zurück, um seinen Onkel Hugo zu pflegen. Doch der dunkle Garten birgt ein grausiges Geheimnis.

 

WHAT DO WE HIDE INSIDE OURSELVES?

One night changes everything for Toby. He's always led a charmed life - until a brutal attack leaves him damaged and traumatised, unsure even of the person he used to be. He seeks refuge at his family's ancestral home, the Ivy House, filled with memories of wild-strawberry summers and teenage parties with his cousins.

But not long after Toby's arrival, a discovery is made: a skull, tucked neatly inside the old wych elm in the garden.

As detectives begin to close in, Toby is forced to examine everything he thought he knew about his family, his past, and himself.

A spellbinding book from a novelist who takes crime writing and turns it inside out, The Wych Elm asks what we become, and what we're capable of, if we no longer know who we are.
