From the acclaimed author of Ruin Falls and Cover of Snow comes a
breathless new novel of psychological suspense about a dark, twisted
turn of events that could shatter a family—a read perfect for fans
of Gillian Flynn, Chris Bohjalian, and Nancy Pickard. Sandy Tremont
has always tried to give her family everything. But, as the sky
darkens over the Adirondacks and a heavy snowfall looms, an escaped
murderer with the power to take it all away draws close. In her
isolated home in the shadowy woods, Sandy prepares dinner after a
fight with her daughter, Ivy. Upstairs, the fifteen-year-old—smart,
brave, and with every reason to be angry tonight—keeps her distance
from her mother. Sandy’s husband, Ben, a wilderness guide, arrives
late to find a home simmering with unease. Nearby, two desperate
men on the run make their way through the fading light, bloodstained
and determined to leave no loose ends or witnesses. After almost
twenty years as prison cellmates, they have become a deadly team:
Harlan the muscle, Nick the mind and will. As they approach a secluded
house and look through its windows to see a cozy domestic scene, Nick
knows that here he will find what he’s looking for . . . before he
disappears forever. Opening the door to the Tremont home, Nick
brings not only a legacy of terror but a secret that threatens to drag
Sandy with him into the darkness. Praise for As Night Falls
“Electric . . . Jenny Milchman mixes psychological thrills with
adventure . . . to shoot her readers with an extreme jolt of
adrenaline. . . . Milchman’s talent for building atmosphere will
have readers wondering if they’re shivering from the story’s
excitement or northern New York’s winter cold.”—Shelf Awareness
(starred review) “Great psychological thrillers work on two
levels: as action-based mysteries and as emotionally resonant personal
stories. Jenny Milchman balances both . . . with equal intensity. . .
. You may not be able to finish [As Night Falls] in one sitting, but
you’ll want to.”—BookPage “Gripping . . . a fast-paced tale
that should keep readers eagerly turning pages.”—Publishers Weekly
