In New York City, in the spring of 2008, as the United States hastens to the presidential elections, Marcus Goldman, a successful young writer, is at a time of agitation: he cannot write the new novel he must deliver to his editor in a few months. His friend and former university professor, Harry Quebert, one of the country's most respected writers, is caught in his past and is accused of murdering Nola Kellergan, a young woman with whom he allegedly had an affair, in 1975. Convinced of Harry's innocence, Marcus renounces everything to travel to New Hampshire to investigate. Events get over it quickly: the investigation sinks and he is threatened. To clear Harry's name and save his writer's career, he must answer three questions: Who killed Nola Kellergan? What happened in New Hampshire in the summer of 1975? And how do you write a successful novel?
