On July 2, 2022, two criminals set out to rob a jewelry store in Geneva. But despite a foolproof plan, their "perfect" heist will prove anything but routine... Twenty days earlier, by the shore of Lake Geneva, Sophie Braun prepares to celebrate her fortieth birthday. Her life seems perfect : fairytale marriage, two loving children, a stylish modern mansion surrounded by lush forest. But her idyllic world is about to fall apart.
Her husband is caught up in shady schemes behind her back. Her neighbor, a police officer with a spotless reputation, is obsessed with her, spying on her most intimate moments. Then, on her birthday, she receives a gift from a mysterious prowler that puts her life in imminent danger. Told at a breathtaking pace, filled with nerve-jangling suspense, Wild Animal demonstrates once again why Joel Dicker - since the publication of The Truth About the Harry Duebert Affair - has reigned supreme as one of the most beloved mystery writers in the world.
