About the Book

Un niño pequeño, hallado muerto en Barnard Park

Daniel Hunter, un abogado que ejerce en Londres, ha dedicado años a defender causas perdidas, sin implicarse y sin permitir que le afectasen una vez terminadas. Pero todo cambia cuando conoce a Sebastian Croll, un niño de once años acusado de asesinar a otro niño, Ben Stokes, de ocho.

Al adentrarse en la difícil vida familiar de Sebastian, Daniel no puede evitar recordar su propia infancia en casas de acogida... y a Minnie, la mujer que lo adoptó y lo salvó con su cariño, hasta que le hizo tanto daño que Daniel la apartó de su vida.

Pero ¿cuál fue el crimen de Minnie para que Daniel la evitase durante quince años? ¿Perderá Daniel todo lo que ha logrado por esa obsesión que lo atormenta y que le hace dudar de la culpabilidad o inocencia de Sebastian?

Este relato apasionante y conmovedor, que combina lo mejor de Maggie O#Farrell y Lionel Shriver, conjuga una gran sensibilidad con los aspectos más emocionantes de los thrillers judiciales.


Reseñas:

«Lisa Ballantyne ha escrito una primera novela tan emotiva como llena de suspense, rica en detalles, pero con la misteriosa sencillez de una parábola».
Joyce Carol Oates

«Una de las novelas más amenas e intensas emocionalmente del año. Lisa Ballantyne logra con creces que el lector se preocupe por los personajes; al final del primer capítulo uno ya está totalmente comprometido».
Richard Madeley, Richard and Judy#s Book Club, Libro del Otoño

«Este libro, valiente, exigente y que hace reflexionar, constituye una lectura perturbadora y compulsiva».
Rosamund Lupton, autora de Hermana

«En un nivel, Culpable presenta un apasionante drama judicial que es resueltamente fiel a sus personajes. Y en otro plano, su historia personal resuena con amor, perdón y la posibilidad de redención. Culpable le tocará el corazón».
Hallie Ephron, autora de El precio de la mentira

«Se trata de una obra de ficción excepcional, y el verdadero crimen habría sido no haber descubierto el talento de Lisa Ballantyne».
Daily Record

«Un debut conmovedor y profundo. Es fácil entender por qué causó tal revuelo en la Feria de Frankfurt. Si no se convierte en el No confíes en nadie de este año, me comeré el ordenador».
Guardian

«Sutil, sofisticado y lleno de suspense».
Sunday Express

«Un debut literario lleno de aplomo con el sello de #superventas# impreso en cada página».
Crimesquad.co.uk

«Es una obra de enjundia sobre los verdaderos seres humanos, con sus defectos reales, en la que nada se puede dejar amarrado rotundamente porque la vida no funciona así. Culpable sitúa con firmeza a la autora entre los escritores a seguir de cerca».
Irish Independent

«Un libro que no se puede soltar».
Cosmopolitan

«Uno de los mejores libros de 2012 y un poderoso debut».
Books and Writers>

«No podía quitarme este libro de la cabeza. Me tuvo despierta toda la noche, conjeturando todas las posibilidades. Me ha encantado».
Jenny Colgan

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A little boy is found dead Barnard Park... Daniel Hunter has spent years defending lost causes as a solicitor in London--and has managed to do so with no emotional involvement. But when he is introduced to Sebastian Croll, an eleven-year-old accused of murder, everything changes. As he plunges into the muddy depths of Sebastian's troubled home life, Daniel thinks back to his own childhood in foster care--and to Minnie, the woman whose love saved him, until she, too, betrayed him so badly that he cut her out of his life.
