Yana Wagner gained fame with the novel “Wongozero,” which made it onto the longlists of the “NOS” and “National Bestseller” awards, was translated into 11 languages, and became a finalist for the Prix Bob Morane award and the Elle magazine prize. Today a TV series is being made based on it.
The new novel “Who Didn’t Hide” is the story of nine friends who arrive at a hotel on the top of a snowy mountain. They have known one another forever, they’re successful, happy, and ready to have fun. But in the morning it turns out that an icy rain has cut them off from the outside world. Seemingly — what an adventure! Only one of them is lying not far from the entrance, pierced by a ski pole. All they can do is light candles, pour out whiskey, and look each other in the eye.
This is a thriller in which everyone is afraid only of themselves. A detective story where it’s not really so important who the criminal is. A psychological drama that brings all old grudges to the surface.
