Una constelación de vidas alteradas para siempre por una decisión fatídica.Señales en la noche comienza una noche de verano de 1985. Tres adolescentes han estado bebiendo. Deciden coger un coche y, en un instante, todo cambia en Division Street. Cada una de sus vidas y la de Ben Wilf, un joven médico que acude al lugar del accidente, se hacen añicos. Para la familia Wilf, las circunstancias que rodean este terrible accidente se convertirán en un secreto insondable, tan grave que no volverán a hablar de ello.En Division Street ha pasado el tiempo. Cuando llegan los Shenkman -un matrimonio joven que espera un bebé-, la vida sigue como si el accidente nunca hubiese ocurrido. Pero Waldo, el hijo solitario y especial de los Shenkman, un chico fascinado por la belleza del mundo y con una habilidad innata para encontrar conexiones en todas partes, se hace amigo del doctor Wilf, que ya está jubilado y sufre por el deterioro de su esposa, y el pasado se precipita en su vida de formas que nadie esperaba.En su primera obra de ficción en quince años, Dani Shapiro retoma el género con el que se inició como escritora, con una novela fascinante y extremadamente sensible que profundiza en los vínculos que unen a las familias, y también en los secretos que pueden destrozarlas. Señales en la noche es una historia de una inquietante belleza, salida de la pluma de una hábil narradora.
