Night Film




'THE BOOK EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT.' Observer


Night Film is a breathtakingly suspenseful literary thriller that makes you question how you decide what is real and what isn't from the critically acclaimed author of Special Topics in Calamity Physics

On a damp October night the body of beautiful Ashley Cordova is discovered in a Manhattan warehouse.

Though her death is ruled a suicide, investigative journalist Scott McGrath suspects otherwise.

The last time McGrath got too close to the Cordova dynasty, he lost his marriage and his career.

This time he could lose his mind.

Praise for Night Film

This summer’s GONE GIRL: a completely absorbing literary thriller.

Library Journal

This magnificently layered and suspenseful literary thriller by the author of Special Topics in Calamity Physics reads as though written by the fairy offspring of Siri Hustvedt and Paul Auster. You'll want to devote an entire weekend to losing yourself in the search for Cordova.

Cathy Rentzenbrink, Bookseller, Book of the Month

Beautifully imagined, beautifully written, and hypnotically suspenseful.

Lee Child, author of A WANTED MAN

A testament to Marisha Pessl’s tremendous gifts as a storyteller.

Scott Smith, author of THE RUINS

A literary mystery that’s also a page-turner . . . Night Film might be the most talked-about novel this summer.
