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.

demorou pra eu me sentir interessada pela estória, mas mesmo depois que comecei a gostar teve muitos altos e baixos! uma hora eu tava empolgada, e em outra eu só queria largar o livro e ler outra coisa de tão monótono e arrastado que estava. confesso que o final não me agradou 100%, esperava saber mais do Cordova por ele mesmo, e não só pelos outros. a sensação que ficou foi de que rolou muita coisa durante a leitura pra no final não dar em nada.
no geral eu gostei, mas foi na maior parte cansativo.
