BONFIRE

From actress of Breaking-Bad fame, producer, and writer, Krysten Ritter, a psychological suspense novel about a woman forced to confront her past in the wake of small-town corruption.

It has been ten years since Abby Williams left home and scrubbed away all visible evidence of her small town roots. Now working as an environmental lawyer in Chicago, she has a thriving career, a modern apartment, and her pick of meaningless one-night stands. She masks a damaged interior: the result of bullying in her youth and an oppressive religious upbringing. When a new case takes her back home to Barrens, Indiana, the life Abby painstakingly created begins to crack. Tasked with investigating Optimal Plastics, the town's most high-profile company and economic heart, Abby begins to find strange connections to the Barrens’ biggest scandal from more than a decade ago involving the popular Kaycee Mitchell and her closest friends—just before Kaycee disappeared for good. Abby knows the key to solving any case lies in the weak spots, the unanswered questions. As Abby tries to find out what really happened to Kaycee, she unearths an even more disturbing secret—a ritual called “The Game,” which will threaten the reputations, and lives, of the community and risk exposing a darkness that may consume her. With tantalizing twists, slow-burning suspense, and a remote, rural town of just five claustrophobic miles Bonfire is a dark exploration of the question, can you ever outrun your past? Krysten Ritter currently stars as Jessica Jones in the Peabody Award-winning Netflix original series, “Marvel’s Jessica Jones.” Growing up on a small-town farm in rural Pennsylvania, she started her career as a model but her work to date includes film, television, theatre, writing, and producing. In 2012 she launched the production company Silent Machine in a deal with Universal Television. With a highly engaged social media following and having drawn rave reviews and press from every quarter for her work on Jessica Jones, Krysten is thrilled to now introduce her fans to BONFIRE in both the book and TV space.
