Adam Pellman with Night Film

"On a damp October night, beautiful young Ashley Cordova is found dead in an abandoned warehouse in lower Manhattan. Though her death is ruled a suicide, veteran investigative journalist Scott McGrath suspects otherwise. As he probes the strange circumstances surrounding Ashley’s life and death, McGrath comes face-to-face with the legacy of her father: the legendary, reclusive cult-horror-film director Stanislas Cordova--a man who hasn’t been seen in public for more than thirty years."--Publisher description.

I initially picked this novel up because it is, in part, about a mysterious film director, and I'm a big film buff.  It seemed right up my alley.  It's a really engaging mystery, and it's pretty spooky, too, so it was a good reading choice as we get close to Halloween.
