Fresh from the staggering success of The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair, Marcus Goldman is struggling to write his third novel. A chance encounter in Florida throws him some inspiration from a surprising source: Alexandra Neville, the beautiful, phenomenally successful singer and Marcus's first love. All at once, memories of his childhood come flooding back. Memories of a family torn apart by tragedy, and a once glorious legacy reduced to shame and ruin.

The Baltimore Boys. The Goldman Gang. That was what they called Marcus, and his cousins Hillel and Woody. Three brilliant young men with their whole lives ahead of them, before their kingdom crumbled beneath the weight of lies, jealousy and betrayal. For years, Marcus has struggled with the burdens of his past, but now, he must attempt to banish his demons and tell the real story of the Baltimore Boys.

Translated from the French by Alison Anderson

Industry Reviews

A literary phenomenon - Figaro

Veers between nostalgia for what could have been and regrets for what can never be. Captivating and beautifully conceived - Elle

Once again, Dicker brilliantly combines all the elements that first enticed his legions of readers - Le Point

Joel Dicker really knows how to tell a great story - Valeurs Actuelles

The Dicker who wrote The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair was a magician, a juggler. The Dicker of The Baltimore Boys has no need of such tricks. He is not just a good writer, he is a great writer - Corriere della Serra

A titan of a novel. Nabokovian. Highly recommended - El Cultural de El Mundo

A new masterstroke from Joel Dicker. The ace up his sleeve - Culturebox

My goodness, this Joel Dicker can really spin a yarn - Tribune de Geneve
