Présentation de l'éditeur :
New York Times bestselling author Jennifer McMahon writes a chilling new novel about a group of old friends who once believed things (and perhaps, people) must be taken apart, literally, to be truly understood. In their final year of college at Sexton University (loosely based on the author s own alma mater -- Goddard College), Henry, Tess, and their misfit friends created The Compassionate Dismantlers - a group that believed the best way to understand something, or someone, was to literally take it apart, breaking it down to see it in its basic parts. The members spend the summer after graduation in a rustic cabin in the woods committing acts of meaningful vandalism and plotting elaborate, sometimes dangerous pranks. The summer of the Compassionate Dismantlers comes to a screeching halt when one project spirals out of control. Their charismatic and increasingly dangerous leader Suz pushes the group further into a plan than they d like to go which eventually leads to her death, an accident the rest of the group tries to bury in the past.
Nine years later, two of the members, Henry and Tess, are married and living an hour's drive from the old cabin with their nine-year-old daughter, Emma, who has a lot of unusual habits and an often unsettling imaginary friend named Danner. Soon, the past comes back to haunt them, figuratively and perhaps literally when one of their old friends, still feeling the effects of that fateful summer, commits suicide after they each receive a mysterious letter in the mail. The death shocks the rest of the group who have tried to forget the darkness they saw those many years ago. Henry and Tess, terrified about the odd events taking place around them and Emma, fall further and further into their guilt and fear, eventually confronting the ghosts of the past head on. Though they may have moved on from their yourth, the past isn t ready to let go. Is there someone who knows the secrets of the Compassionate Dismantlers? Is it possible that Suz did not really die that night -- or, worse still, has she somehow found a way back?
As she did with her breakout hits PROMISE NOT TO TELL and ISLAND OF LOST GIRLS, Jennifer McMahon masterfully builds suspense and combines the excitement of a thriller with the emotion of a family drama. With pitch perfect characters and a gripping plot, DISMANTLED is un-put-downable and sure to please all of McMahon's fans.

The New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Island of Lost Girls and Promise Not to Tell returns with a chilling novel in which the secrets of the past come back to haunt a group of friends in terrifying ways.
Dismantlement = Freedom
Henry, Tess, Winnie, and Suz banded together in college to form a group they called the Compassionate Dismantlers. Following the first rule of their manifesto—"To understand the nature of a thing, it must be taken apart"—these daring misfits spend the summer after graduation in a remote cabin in the Vermont woods committing acts of meaningful vandalism and plotting elaborate, often dangerous, pranks. But everything changes when one particularly twisted experiment ends in Suz's death and the others decide to cover it up.
Nearly a decade later, Henry and Tess are living just an hour's drive from the old cabin. Each is desperate to move on from the summer of the Dismantlers, but their guilt isn't ready to let them go. When a victim of their past pranks commits suicide—apparently triggered by a mysterious Dismantler-style postcard—it sets off a chain of eerie events that threatens to engulf Henry, Tess, and their inquisitive nine-year-old daughter, Emma.
Is there someone who wants to reveal their secrets? Is it possible that Suz did not really die—or has she somehow found a way back to seek revenge?
Full of white-knuckle tension with deeply human characters caught in circumstances beyond their control, Jennifer McMahon's gripping story and spine-tingling plot prove that she is a master at weaving the fear of the supernatural with the stark realities of life.
