Jessica Jones: Marvel Female Private Investigator is returning in a new novel

Hyperion Avenue breathes life into storytelling that gives a long-lasting shelf life and quenches readers' thirst in one of the July 2024 crime fiction releases. In Then She Was Gone author Lisa Jewell's A Jessica Jones Marvel Crime Novel: Breaking The Dark introduces the retired spandex super, private investigator again.

Fresh off the success of Jewell’s twenty-two bestselling novels comes the launch of the first thriller in the Marvel Crime Novel series for adults. The first features an original take about the super-strength private detective Jessica Jones.

  The 300-something-page novel steers readers down a mind maze as a wealthy distraught mother Amber Randall enters Jessica’s office in hopes of hiring Jessica to investigate what happened to her two children. Jewell's detective noir, Breaking The Dark brings a touch of energy and a female gaze that Alias and Pulse were missing the ingredient in writing a story about a female character, particularly a super-power one.

    From the character's first comic book appearance as a Midtown High School student, the first hundred pages of Breaking The Dark ties in Jessica Campbell Jones's history in Marvel comics traces after her first introduction in the Marvel comics universe to Alias (2001-2004), then Pulse (2004-2006), to the self-titled comic series Jessica Jones (2016-2018) about the 2015 Netflix television series.

The first chapters of Breaking The Dark are a page-turner for readers to stick their nose into over the weekend. Jewell lays out a straightforward, visual storytelling in chapter one following along the next pages until readers reach the section of the gritty, sleuth noir. 

The novel is divided into three episodic parts that allow the reader to chew on the pages the person has just read. However, Jewell draws heavy influence for Breaking The Dark with references to Alias and Pulse comic series. Both Alias and Pulse stand on their own but Breaking The Dark celebrates by adding layers to Jessica’s story.

  The Marvel Crime novels will bring audiences hard-edged fiction featuring Marvel’s favorite characters for the next upcoming thrillers in the book series by Alex Segura and S.A. Crosby. 

Breaking the Dark arrives on July 2, 2024, in the United States and July 4 in the United Kingdom.
