The Next Story
New psychological thrillers and dark stories are already taking shape. Each one begins with its own question.
Welcome to the official home of P.M. France, previously published as Paris M. France. These psychological thrillers and dark stories explore obsession, memory, perception, identity, and the things people convince themselves are true. Some stories end. Others keep following you.

She built a career finding the details everyone else missed. Then one investigation destroyed her credibility and sent her running from the life she knew. Years later, Simone Reed still cannot leave an unanswered question alone, especially when reality starts giving her reasons not to trust it.
Smile For Me marks the next era of P.M. France: darker, more psychological, more unsettling, and built to stay with the reader long after the final page.
Every P.M. France novel is written to stand on its own. There is no required reading order, no homework before opening a new book, and no need to know another story first. Pick the one that pulls you in and begin there.
A psychological story built around silence, unease, grief, memory, and the details people learn to ignore until they cannot anymore.
