Jodi Picoult: Salem Falls, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult comes a compelling and "multilayered tale of small-town intrigue" (Glamour) about a prep schoolteacher accused of rape by a group of young girls, the woman who stands by him, and the repercussions of the case in a New England town where the past is only a heartbeat away.

Love can redeem a man...but secrets and lies can condemn him.

A handsome stranger comes to the sleepy New England town of Salem Falls in hopes of burying his past. Once a prep schoolteacher, Jack St. Bride was destroyed when a student's crush sparked a powder keg of accusation. Now, washing dishes for Addie Peabody at the Do-Or-Diner, he slips quietly into his new routine, and Addie finds this unassuming man fitting easily inside her heart.

But amid the rustic calm of Salem Falls, a quartet of teenage girls harbor dark secrets---and they maliciously launch a modern-day witch hunt. Now, Jack is forced once again to proclaim his innocence: to a town searching for answers, to a justice system where truth becomes a slippery concept written in shades of gray, and to the woman who has come to love him in this unputdownable novel that will keep you "constantly guessing" (The Dallas Morning News) until the very last page.
