A #1 New York Times Bestseller and Booker Prize–winning author returns with something utterly unlike anything else on our shelves right now. This one stopped us in our tracks.

Jill “Doll” Blaine has done this 343 times before — plummeting from the sky, reconstituting mid-fall (right down to her favorite black pumps), landing at the doorstep of a soul who needs guiding into the next world. But K. J. Boone, powerful oil company CEO, is not going gently. He has no regrets. Not a single one. And that, it turns out, is the most terrifying thing of all.

What follows is a careening, electric, darkly funny night at a dying man’s bedside — birds swarming the room, a black calf grazing on the love seat, ghosts of the past arriving with unfinished business, and one very determined guide trying to make sense of a life lived large at everyone else’s expense.

Vigil is the kind of novel that crackles. It’s sharp and strange and deeply humane, taking on corporate greed, environmental destruction, and the thorny question of what absolution even means — all while keeping you completely riveted.

  • #1 New York Times Bestseller

The kind of book you’ll want to press into someone’s hands the moment you finish it. We’ve already got a stack waiting by the register.
