«Todo un clásico sobre el que aletea el Nobel --Elena Hevia, El Periódico de Catalunya

Corre el año 1977 y Hannnah y Wes Jarrett, un respetable hombre de negocios y miembro de una de las familias más poderosas de Detroit, viven felices junto a sus hijos de cinco y ocho años en su casa de las afueras. Ismelda, su criada, hace que en el hogar todo sea más llevadero. Pero su vida y la de sus vecinos se ve sacudida por la presencia en la ciudad de un asesino al que los medios han apodado Babysitter: ya ha raptado y torturado a seis niños y ha dejado sus cuerpos en la carretera en posturas llamativas, como si durmieran. En una fiesta filantrópica de la familia Jarrett, Hannah conoce al señor R., un hombre extraño y oscuramente carismático con el que inicia una peligrosa aventura. Mientras tanto, el esquivo asesino en serie, que parece formar parte de la élite de Detroit, sigue acumulando víctimas y llevando a la desesperación a la ciudad.

Babysitter es una exploración psicológica de los rincones más oscuros de la psique humana y una crítica demoledora del racismo, la violencia sexual, la homofobia y la misoginia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From one of America's most renowned storytellers--the best-selling author of Blonde--comes a novel about love and deceit, and lust and redemption, against a backdrop of shocking murders in the affluent suburbs of Detroit.

"Unsettling, mysterious, deft, sinister, eerily plausible." --Margaret Atwood, best-selling author of The Handmaid's Tale andThe Testaments, via Twitter

In the waning days of the turbulent 1970s, in the wake of unsolved child-killings that have shocked Detroit, the lives of several residents are drawn together with tragic consequences.

There is Hannah, wife of a prominent local businessman, who has begun an affair with a darkly charismatic stranger whose identity remains elusive; Mikey, a canny street hustler who finds himself on a chilling mission to rectify injustice; and the serial killer known as Babysitter, an enigmatic and terrifying figure at the periphery of elite Detroit. As Babysitter continues his rampage of abductions and killings, these individuals intersect with one another in startling and unexpected ways.

Suspenseful, brilliantly orchestrated, and engrossing, Babysitteris a starkly narrated exploration of the riskiness of pursuing alternate lives, calling into question how far we are willing to go to protect those whom we cherish most. In its scathing indictment of corrupt politics, unexamined racism, and the enabling of sexual predation in America, Babysitteris a thrilling work of contemporary fiction.
