Fiction
Brilliant, haunting, breathtakingly suspenseful, Night
Film is a superb literary thriller by the New York
Times bestselling author of the blockbuster
debut Special Topics in Calamity
Physics.
On a damp October night,
beautiful young Ashley Cordova is found dead in an abandoned
warehouse in lower Manhattan. Though her death is ruled a
suicide, veteran investigative journalist Scott McGrath
suspects otherwise. As he probes the strange circumstances
surrounding Ashley’s life and death, McGrath comes
face-to-face with the legacy of her father: the legendary,
reclusive cult-horror-film director Stanislas Cordova—a man
who hasn’t been seen in public for more than thirty
years.
For McGrath, another death connected
to this seemingly cursed family dynasty seems more than just
a coincidence. Though much has been written about Cordova’s
dark and unsettling films, very little is known about the
man himself.
Driven by revenge, curiosity,
and a need for the truth, McGrath, with the aid of two
strangers, is drawn deeper and deeper into Cordova’s eerie,
hypnotic world.
The last time he got close to
exposing the director, McGrath lost his marriage and his
career. This time he might lose even more.
Night Film, the gorgeously written, spellbinding new
novel by the dazzlingly inventive Marisha Pessl, will hold
you in suspense until you turn the final page.
