What Happens When The Ones You Lost Come Back From The Dead?

In a small Alpine village, people start to appear, trying to return to their homes after a terrible accident none of them can recall. What they do not yet know is that they have been dead for several years—and no one is expecting them back.

But they are not the only ones to have seemingly returned from the dead. Their arrival coincides with a series of horrific murders, which bear a chilling resemblance to the work of a serial killer from the past...

A stunning, page-turner filled with startling real characters, The Returned, is a captivating, emotional drama.

The international bestseller based on the hit French TV series Les Revenants that inspires A&E's The Returned.
