Description
“This chilling locked room mystery grows more sinister by the page, culminating in a cut-throat final twist and reveal I never saw coming. That Night in the Library is as gripping as it is terrifying. Once you enter the library, there is no turning back.” —Elle Cosimano, New York Times bestselling author of the Finlay Donovan mysteries
One night locked in the library. What could go wrong?
On the night before graduation, seven students gather in the basement of their university's rare books library. They're not allowed in the library after closing time, but it's the perfect place for the ritual they want to perform—one borrowed from the Greeks, said to free those who take part in it from the fear of death. And what better time to seek the wisdom of ancient gods than in the hours before they'll scatter in different directions to start their real lives?
But just a few minutes into their celebration, the lights go out—and one of them drops dead. As the body count rises, with nothing but the books to protect them, the group must figure out how to survive the night while trapped with a murderer. That Night in the Library is a chilling literary mystery that transports readers to a world where secrets live in the dark, books breathe fears to life, and the only way out is to wait until morning.
Advance Praise
"The tortured inner voice of narrator Faye, the shyest library employee, is used to wonderful effect by Jurczyk to chronicle a frenzied, terrifying night in a locked room—the library’s basement cage—that starts with a killing. The ending here is a shock, and along the way the author delivers chills that are packed with narcissistic venom and choking claustrophobia."
—First Clue
“Filled with as much keen observational insight as there are twists and turns, That Night in the Library will keep readers guessing even as its razorblade social commentary will make them squirm. A thoroughly entertaining and thought-provoking read.”
—Bianca Marais, bestselling author of The Witches of Moonshyne Manor
“Jurczyk breathes sentience and menace into the rare books library. She lures you in and traps you in this chilling mystery until the very last page.”
—Sulari Gentill, USA Today bestselling author of The Woman in the Library
