The instant, runaway bestseller from the Emmy and Golden Globe-winning creator of Fargo and Legion.
The New York Times Bestseller and winner of the 2017 Edgar Award for Best Novel.
On a foggy summer night, eleven people— ten privileged, one down-on-his-luck painter— depart Martha's Vineyard on a private jet headed for New York. Sixteen minutes later, the unthinkable happens: the plane plunges into the ocean. The only survivors are the painter, Scott Burroughs, and a four-year-old boy, who is now the last remaining member of a powerful media mogul's family.
One of the year's best suspense novels…mesmerizing.
SUSPENSEFUL…A struggling painter is inexorably drawn into the lives—and fiery deaths—of two moguls, one financial, the other media.
ONE PART DENNIS LEHANE, ONE PART DOSTOEVSKY.
On one hand, BEFORE THE FALL is A COMPLEX, COMPULSIVELY READABLE THRILL RIDE of a novel. On the other hand, it is an exploration of the danger of an unchecked media. The combination is a POTENT, GRITTY THRILLER.
I started Noah Hawley's BEFORE THE FALL last night…my mind wouldn't stop mulling over the events and the characters. Wow! This is the thriller of the year!
I started [BEFORE THE FALL] and could not put it down. I am nominating it to Indie-Next…I really do believe it is the perfect book to kick off Summer.
The world-worn cynicism that makes 'Fargo' such a popular TV show is echoed in the tone of this well-put together novel…The mystery itself unravels beautifully, and Hawley knows how to keep suspense.
Noah Hawley's novel BEFORE THE FALL truly got under my skin… I devoured this smart and unique novel of intrigue and obsession.
[A] thrilling novel. Read the entire thing on New Year's Day. Enthralling.
I LOVED BEFORE THE FALL! One of the best books I've read in a while—a great read with thriller elements.
A beautiful literary page turner.
WILL SEIZE YOU ON THE FIRST PAGE AND NEVER LET YOU GO, as you follow the story of a plane crash . . . and why it happened .
An insightful look at families, revenge, and media intrusion . . . SUPERB and cleverly constructed.
A big-brained-why-, how-, and whodunit.
