NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERNAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR ⢠Cosmopolitan ⢠Kirkus Reviews ⢠BookPageA page-turning thriller for readers of Stephen King, Gillian Flynn, and Stieg Larsson, Night Film tells the haunting story of a journalist who becomes obsessed with the mysterious death of a troubled prodigyâthe daughter of an iconic, reclusive filmmaker.  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 Ashleyâs life and death, McGrath comes face-to-face with the legacy of her father: the legendary, reclusive cult-horror-film director Stanislas Cordovaâa man who hasnât 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 Cordovaâs 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 Cordovaâs 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.Praise for Night Film  âNight Film has been precision-engineered to be read at high velocity, and its energy would be the envy of any summer blockbuster. Your average writer of thrillers should lust for Pesslâs deft touch with character.ââJoe Hill, The New York Times Book Review  âMysterious and even a little head-spinning, an amazing act of imagination.ââDean Baquet, The New York Times Book Review  âManiacally clever . . . Cordova is a monomaniacal genius who creeps into the darkest crevices of the human psyche. . . . As a study of a great mythmaker, Night Film is an absorbing act of myth-making itself. . . . Dastardly fun . . . The plot feels like an M. C. Escher nightmare about Edgar Allan Poe. . . . Youâll miss your subway stop, let dinner burn and start sleeping with the lights on.ââThe Washington Post  âHaunting . . . a suspenseful, sprawling page-turner.ââUSA Today  âEntrancing and delightful . . . [a] whipsmart humdinger of a thriller . . . It feels, above all things, new.ââThe Boston Globe  âGripping . . . a masterful puzzle . . . Pessl builds up real suspense.ââEntertainment Weekly  âA very deeply imagined book . . . sprints to an ending thatâs equal parts nagging and haunting: What lingers, beyond all the page-turning, is a density of possible clues that leaves you leafing backward, scanning fictional blog comments and newspaper clippings, positive thereâs some secret detail that will snap everything into focus.ââNew York  âHypnotic . . . The real and the imaginary, life and art, are dizzyingly distorted not only in a Cordova night film . . . but in Pesslâs own Night Film as well.ââVanity FairFrom the Hardcover edition.
