The Philadelphia Inquirer Hails Richard Bausch as "one of our best writers", while his last novel, Good Evening Mr. and Mrs. America and All the Ships at Sea, was praised as "one of the best books of the year" by Publishers Weekly. With In the Night Season, Richard Bausch has written a literary thriller that will bring his enormous talents to a new and even larger audience.

Nora Michaelson and her 11-year-old son Jason are facing a difficult adjustment after the accidental death of Nora's husband, Jack, and the failure of Jack's small business, a double loss that has left them nearly destitute. What they don't know is that in the months before Jack's death, he had entered into a secret alliance with a group of dangerous men in a desperate try for some fast money. Jack was keeping something for the group, something worth nearly a million dollars. Something worth killing for. Now the men have come after Nora and Jason, seeking what neither can give. A story of danger and resourcefulness in the face of terror, In the Night Season is Richard Bausch at his finest and most compelling.
