Sobre este artículo
New York, N. Y., U.S.A.: Random House, Inc., 2013. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed and dated by author on title page in silver marker pen. On a damp October night, 24-year-old 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 Stanislaus 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 is the long-awaited second novel by the author of the highly-praised SPECIAL TOPICS IN CALAMITY PHYSICS (winner of the 2006 John Sargent, Sr. First Novel Prize, the first awarded by the NYC Mercantile Library Center for Fiction; selected by the New York Times Book Review as one of the top five fiction books of 2006). NIGHT FILM more than delivers on the promise of the first book. New, unrea, first edition, first printing, opened only for signing, in new, mylar-protected dust jacket.[Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] L113/OFC 3R
