The Hour of the Witch— It’s 1662 Boston, a world where Satan is as real as your next-door neighbor. A young Puritan woman — faithful, resourceful, but afraid of the demons that dog her soul — plots her escape from a violent marriage. Can she divorce her husband and avoid being hanged as a witch? Dive into Bohjalian’s most propulsive historical thriller in years.
The Flight Attendant — a #1 national bestseller in paperback and a New York Times bestseller in hardcover — is now a critically-acclaimed, Emmy-winning TV series on HBO Max. Season two arrives April 21. The spectacularly talented, utterly perfect, and Emmy-nominated Kaley Cuoco stars as beleaguered flight attendant Cassie Bowden. Cassie is among my favorites of all my heroines. Yes, she’s a mess, but I always felt her childhood pain and childhood scars when I was writing the novel. So, fasten your seatbelts and tune in!

"Terrific...[An] elegant noose of a plot...Bohjalian is a pleasure to read. He writes muscular, clear, propulsive sentences...As suspenseful as it is, The Red Lotus is also unexpectedly moving - about friendship, about the connections between people and, most of all, about the love of parents for children an of children for parents. Bohjalian is a writer with a big heart and deep compassion for his characters."
