The New York Times bestselling author of The Winter People and Promise Not to Tell returns with a riveting thriller in which an unresolved murder haunts a family for generations, forcing one daughter into a life of hiding and concealed identity to escape a deadly threat.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Winter People comes a novel of edge-of-your-seat suspense starring a group of misfits trying to outsmart a killer in small-town Vermont.

On the surface, Ashford, Vermont, seems like a quaint New England college town, but to those who live among the shadowy remains of its abandoned mills and factories and beneath its towering steel bridges, it's known as Burntown.

Eva Sandeski, who goes by the name Necco on the street, has been a part of Burntown's underworld for years, ever since the night her father, Miles, drowned in a flood that left her and her mother, Lily, homeless.

Now, on the run from a man called Snake Eyes, Necco must rely on other Burntown outsiders to survive. As the lives of these misfits intersect, and as the killer from the Sandeski family's past draws ever closer, a story begins to unfurl with classic Jennifer McMahon twists and turns.

Reviews for Burntown: A Novel

“McMahon’s latest is bar-raising.... A stunning genre blend of thriller and fantasy.” —Booklist ""[McMahon] swoops readers off to a setting straight out of a modern, but much starker, Grimm's fairy tale in this odd story with a touch of the supernatural.... A strange, fanciful tale.... Weirdly entertaining."" —Kirkus Reviews ""Fans of McMahon's eight earlier novels (The Winter People, etc.) will be intrigued by this complex and quirky mystery set in a rundown Vermont mill town.... This is a well-crafted story with plenty of suspense to keep readers engrossed."" —Publishers Weekly
