THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Sales for this title have been soaring, hitting #1 on the mass-market list and appearing on bestseller lists for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and USA Today.

FILM AND TV: The Flight Attendant will land on small screens as a series from HBO Max starring Kaley Cuoco, bringing major attention to this author. The Red Lotus has been optioned as well and is in development.

THE ORIGINAL WITCH HUNT: This book has everything: witches and poison, drinking and adultery, religious fanaticism and courtroom drama. It’s a fascinating and feminist take on Puritan New England and the most fun thing since Daniel Day-Lewis screamed about his sins with Winona Ryder in The Crucible.

A Lit Hub Most Anticipated Book of 2021
A CrimeReads Most Anticipated Book of 2021

“Absolutely riveting historical fiction that reads like the most pageturning of thrillers, driven by its compelling heroine Mary Deerfield, a young wife who finds the physical and moral courage to stand up for herself in a time when women could be hung as witches…Hour of the Witch is a woman’s story, a romance, a history lesson, and a legal thriller, all of a piece. I haven’t read a novel like it in recent memory, and I doubt that I will for years to come.”
—Lisa Scottoline

“Throughout Bohjalian’s prolific career, he has rewarded readers with indelibly drawn female protagonists, and the formidable yet vulnerable Mary Deerfield is a worthy addition to the canon. Conjuring up specters of #MeToo recriminations and social media shaming, there are twenty-first-century parallels to Bohjalian’s atmospheric Puritan milieu, and his trademark extensive research pays off in this authentic portrait of courage in the face of society’s worst impulses. Bohjalian is a perennial favorite, and this Salem Witch Hunt drama has a special magnetism.”

”A twisty thriller set in 17th-century Boston…With its exploration of themes including domestic abuse, toxic masculinity, and mass hysteria, the novel feels like anything but a period piece.“
—Publishers Weekly

”In 1660s Boston, blue-eyed, porcelain-delicate Mary Deerfield is determined to escape her marriage after her husband, the cruel and controlling Thomas Deerfield, shoves a fork through her hand in a drunken rage. Yet unfortunate incidents—a screaming maid, a boy’s death after Mary treats him with herbs—leaves her longing not just for freedom but for her life; she could be condemned to the gallows as a witch. Another surprise read from the fabulously protean, New York Times best-selling Bohjalian…Illustrates how rough justice can get when religion and institutional sexism are in the mix.“
