"An eerie, atmospheric novel that had me completely on the edge of my seat." (Reese Witherspoon)

You won't want to leave...until you can't.

Half-hidden by forest and overshadowed by threatening peaks, Le Sommet has always been a sinister place. Long plagued by troubling rumors, the former abandoned sanatorium has since been renovated into a five-star minimalist hotel.

An imposing, isolated getaway spot high up in the Swiss Alps is the last place Elin Warner wants to be. But Elin's taken time off from her job as a detective, so when her estranged brother, Isaac, and his fiancée, Laure, invite her to celebrate their engagement at the hotel, Elin really has no reason not to accept.

Arriving in the midst of a threatening storm, Elin immediately feels on edge - there's something about the hotel that makes her nervous. And when they wake the following morning to discover Laure is missing, Elin must trust her instincts if they hope to find her. With the storm closing off all access to the hotel, the longer Laure stays missing, the more the remaining guests start to panic.

Elin is under pressure to find Laure, but no one has realized yet that another woman has gone missing. And she's the only one who could have warned them just how much danger they are all in....

In the remote Swiss Alps, nestled amidst snow-capped peaks and towering evergreens, stands Le Sommet, a grand and imposing sanatorium with a dark and unsettling past. Its once-renowned reputation as a beacon of healing has been tarnished by rumors of sinister experiments and unexplained disappearances.

Enter Elin Warner, a young and ambitious journalist eager to make her mark. When she receives an invitation to spend the winter at Le Sommet, she sees it as the perfect opportunity to uncover the truth behind the sanatorium's haunting history. Elin arrives at Le Sommet, greeted by the eerie silence that permeates the mountain air. The elegant facade of the sanatorium hides a labyrinth of hidden corridors, forgotten rooms, and secrets buried deep within its walls.

As Elin delves deeper into the sanatorium's past, she stumbles upon chilling accounts of patients subjected to unconventional and torturous treatments. The line between reality and illusion blurs as she becomes entangled in a web of mystery, deception, and danger. Unexplained phenomena and unsettling encounters with the sanatorium's staff leave Elin questioning her sanity and the motives of those around her.

With each passing day, the sanatorium's dark past creeps closer, threatening to consume Elin entirely. She finds herself trapped in a desperate race against time to uncover the truth before it's too late. Will Elin be able to unravel the secrets of Le Sommet and escape its sinister grip, or will she become another victim of its haunting legacy?

Immerse yourself in the mesmerizing world of Le Sommet, where the boundaries between healing and horror intertwine, and the truth lies hidden amidst the shadows waiting to be discovered.
