What to expect
THE NUMBER 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA CRIME FICTION IN TRANSLATION DAGGER AWARD 2025
'A masterclass in suspense' PAULA HAWKINS
‘A spellbinding nightmare’ FERNANDA MELCHOR
‘A book of intense power’ PHILIPPE SANDS
'A compelling book, with a tightly coiled power' PANDORA SYKES
The shockingly compulsive new literary thriller from the International Booker-shortlisted author of The Remainder.
Clean begins with an inescapable fact: a girl has died. Told by Estela, a maid to a wealthy, middle class family who speaks to us from a locked room, we hear of her plight and the circumstances that led to this moment. As we enter into her account of her daily existence, we see how her apparently simple life begins to sour, but would that drive her to the unthinkable?
Disturbing and profound, Clean explores domestic work, class and violence, against the backdrop of Chile’s changing political landscape. This is one of the most daring and compelling thrillers in international literature.
