Title: The Baltimore Book - Joel Dicker - book Summary : Until the day of the Tragedy, there were two Goldman families. The Baltimore Goldmans and the Montclair Goldmans. The Montclair Goldmans, from whom Marcus Goldman, the author of The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair, comes, are a middle-class family living in a small house in Montclair, New Jersey. The Baltimore Goldmans are a prosperous family with everything going for them, living in a luxurious house in a wealthy suburb of Baltimore, for whom Marcus had boundless admiration. Eight years after the Tragedy, Marcus Goldman decided to tell his family's story this time when, in February 2012, he left the New York winter for the tropical heat of Boca Raton, Florida, where he came to work on his next novel. Through the memories of his youth, Marcus revisits the life and destiny of the Baltimore Goldmans and the fascination he once felt for this wealthy American family, between vacations in Miami, the vacation home in the Hamptons, and the escapades in private schools. But the years pass and the Baltimore veneer crumbles as the Drama looms. Until the day everything changes.
