Product Details

About the Book

False Note is a dark, riveting short story from David Lagercrantz, part of Alibis, a collection of stories about lies, truth, and deception — it's just a matter of what you can get away with, and each can be read or listened to in one sitting. A toxic father-son relationship unleashes dark impulses and unthinkable betrayals in this tightly wound piece from the New York Times bestselling author of The Girl in the Spider's Web.

William's father is a beloved opera singer in Stockholm — charismatic, unpredictable, and beloved by the public, but raised in the shadow of his father's addictions to women, drink, and cruelty, William knows the man's darker side all too well. William believes he's finally found the light when he falls in love with a fellow university student, a young woman named Ebba. But when William brings Ebba to meet his legendary father, the two men fall into an uneasy, uncomfortable competition for her affection — and when police arrive weeks later to announce the elder man's sudden death, William chooses not to share his alibi, leaving readers to wonder just how far the rivalry between father and son really went.

Exploring how two men bound by blood and resentment can be locked in a lifelong struggle to one-up each other, False Note shows that even in death, a domineering father's hold over his son's life is not so easily broken. Written by one of Sweden's most celebrated literary thrillers writers, the story blends psychological tension with a slow-burn sense of unease, delivering a compact, unsettling tale of family, jealousy, and murder.
