Refined Marvel Crime Novel for Jessica Jones Fans

In the Marvel Crime series' debut thriller, acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell (None of This Is True) introduces a captivating original story starring the private detective Jessica Jones. Retired superhero Jessica Jones, a loner, now navigates the daily struggles of survival in Hell's Kitchen, New York, preferring to avoid the traumatic world she once inhabited as a costumed crimefighter.

One morning, a distraught mother, Amber Randall, enters Jessica's office, desperate for her help. Amber is convinced that something sinister has happened to her teenage twins during their visit to their father in the UK. The once vibrant and distinctive teens now exhibit strange new behaviors, flawless skin, and an unsettling fixation on a girl named Belle. Amber is adamant that her children have been somehow replaced by an ominous, "perfect" entity.

Traveling to a secluded British countryside village, Jessica encounters the enigmatic Belle, who leads a peculiar isolated life in an old farmhouse with a curious guardian. As Jessica delves deeper into the mystery, she discovers that the tight-knit community of Barton Wallop harbors dark energies and unsettling secrets.

Despite her own personal struggles, including her tumultuous relationship with Luke Cage, Jessica is determined to uncover the truth and rescue the Randall twins. She knows that a mother's intuition is never wrong, and that in life, nothing is ever truly perfect - not the twins, not her own life, and certainly not the shadowy forces at work in Barton Wallop.

Breaking the Dark, the inaugural installment of the Marvel Crime series, introduces readers to a grittier, street-level side of the Marvel Universe. Subsequent novels in the series will feature other fan-favorite characters, such as Luke Cage (written by S.A. Cosby) and Daredevil (written by Alex Segura), further expanding this thrilling new narrative.
