by **Tana French** (Author)

**A _New York Times_ bestseller and a Best Book of 2018 by NPR, _The New York Times Book Review_, Amazon, _The Boston Globe,_ LitHub, Vulture, Slate, _Elle_, Vox, and Electric Literature**

"Tana French's best and most intricately nuanced novel yet." --_The New York Times_

An "extraordinary" (Stephen King) and "mesmerizing" (_LA Times_) standalone novel from the master of crime and suspense and **author of the forthcoming novel _The Hunter_.**

From the writer who "inspires cultic devotion in readers" (_The New Yorker_) and has been called "incandescent" by Stephen King, "absolutely mesmerizing" by Gillian Flynn, and "unputdownable" (_People_) comes a gripping new novel that turns a crime story inside out.

Toby is a happy-go-lucky charmer who's dodged a scrape at work and is celebrating with friends when the night takes a turn that will change his life--he surprises two burglars who beat him and leave him for dead. Struggling to recover from his injuries, beginning to understand that he might never be the same man again, he takes refuge at his family's ancestral home to care for his dying uncle Hugo. Then a skull is found in the trunk of an elm tree in the garden--and as detectives close in, Toby is forced to face the possibility that his past may not be what he has always believed.

A spellbinding standalone from one of the best suspense writers working today, _The Witch Elm_ asks what we become, and what we're capable of, when we no longer know who we are.
