Prequel to The Lonely Place (The Lonely Place Trilogy, Book 2)

De: Ross Farrally

Narrado por: Deborah Canet

A chilling second novel by the author of the acclaimed debut The Lonely Place, The Hanged Man is a sinister prequel that delves even deeper into the Labelle family.

“She thought about the Librium. The pills would quiet them, at least for a while. But they weren’t strong enough, were they? They had never been.”

When Catherine Labelle learns of her childhood best friend unexpected death, the fragile fabric of her reality begins to unravel.

Her husband, James, works the trails at Yellowstone National Park, and their eldest son, George, is a kind-hearted child with a love for The Cisco Kid. But it’s Denny, their youngest, who seems most... troubled. He finds comfort in his imaginary friend, Perry, whose unsettling influence begins to seep into their everyday lives.

When a strange carnival rolls into their sleepy town of Gilgrad Falls, Wyoming, in October 1964, a single night sets off a chain of events Catherine can’t explain. Strange accidents and inexplicable occurrences challenge her grip on reality.

As she descends into a spiralling nightmare, she struggles to discern whether Perry is a figment of Denny’s imagination or a manifestation of something far more sinister, something that may have been in her life all along.
