The Mars Room

From the author of the wildly successful The Flamethrowers comes a dark, honest, and gripping new novel, The Mars Room. The truth is, Romy Hall killed a man. But it’s also true that the man she killed was stalking her, though the court doesn’t seem to care about that. We meet Romy as she is serving one of two life sentences at a women’s prison in California. Just like the strip club where Romy worked in San Francisco, prison is all about power and navigating the screwed up systems to survive. This book is perfect for lovers of “Orange is the New Black.”
