Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conjugación perfecta entre el Lemaitre literario y el Lemaitre policíaco, Tres días y una vida combina una historia de suspense con una reflexión sobre la cara más sombría de la condición humana. En la historia de la literatura abundan los ejemplos de personajes cuyas vidas se ven irremediablemente afectadas por un breve instante de su pasado. En esta novela que sucede a Nos vemos allá arriba, Pierre Lemaitre retrata con mano maestra la trayectoria vital de un adolescente que, en un fugaz e impremeditado arranque de ira, se ve envuelto en un crimen y debe cargar con el horror y la culpa por el resto de sus días. El relato, dividido en tres momentos espaciados en el tiempo -1999, 2011 y 2015-, es una invitación a acompañar el fascinante proceso de formación de la psique de Antoine Courtin, durante el cual se vislumbra el lacerante destino de una persona que, paradójicamente, ha sido víctima de su propia culpabilidad. Todo comienza en Beauval, un pequeño pueblo enclavado en una región cubierta de bosques, donde la apacibilidad y belleza del lugar son el contrapunto perfecto a la sucesión de acontecimientos que conforman la trama. Al complejo microcosmos de sus habitantes, no exentos de hipocresía y cinismo, se añaden los ambiguos gestos, los comentarios maliciosos, la maldad y la insidia parapetadas detrás de las buenas intenciones, elementos todos ellos determinantes en la gestación y desenlace de la apasionante historia de Antoine. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION LONGLISTED FOR THE CWA INTERNATIONAL DAGGER 2018 Antoine is twelve years old. His parents are divorced and he lives with his mother in Beauval, a small, backwater town surrounded by forests, where everyone knows everyone's business, and nothing much ever happens. But in the last days of 1999, a series of events unfolds, culminating in the shocking vanishing without trace of a young child. The adults of the town are at a loss to explain the disappearance, but for Antoine, it all begins with the violent death of his neighbour's dog. From that one brutal act, his fate and the fate of his neighbour's six year old son are bound forever. In the years following Rémi's disappearance, Antoine wrestles with the role his actions played. As a seemingly inescapable net begins to tighten, breaking free from the suffocating environs of Beauval becomes a gnawing obsession. But how far does he have to run, and how long will it take before his past catches up with him again? Translated from the French by Frank Wynne
