Joël Dicker (Geneva, Switzerland, 1985) is a Swiss writer in the French language who rose to international fame with La verdad sobre el caso Harry Quebert (2012), an editorial phenomenon translated into more than 30 languages that established him as a master of the literary thriller. Educated in Law at the University of Geneva after studying Playwriting in Paris, Dicker debuted with Los últimos días de nuestros padres (2010), but it was the Goncourt des Lycéens Prize and the Grand Prize of the French Academy for Harry Quebert that catapulted him to success. His narrative is characterized by ingenious twists, complex structures, and the creation of addictive suspense.
