SONATA FOR THE DEAD
A JOEL SORRELL NOVEL
CONRAD WILLIAMS

It’s four months on from the events of Dust and Desire… Joel Sorrell has recovered from the injuries he sustained in his fight with The Four-Year-Old. A body has been found, sealed into the dead space behind a false wall in a flat in Muswell Hill. Beheaded and surrounded by bloodstained pages of typewritten text, it is the third such murder committed by a killer known as The Hack. And it may be linked to his daughter’s disappearance.

HACK
AN F.X. SHEPHERD NOVEL
KIERAN CROWLEY

It’s a dog-eat-dog world at the infamous tabloid the
New York Mail
, where brand new pet columnist F.X. Shepherd finds himself on the trail of The Hacker, a serial killer who is targeting unpleasant celebrities. Bodies and suspects accumulate as Shepherd runs afoul of cutthroat office politics and Ginny Mac, a sexy reporter for a competing newspaper. But when Shepherd is contacted by the Hacker, he realizes he may be next on the list.

“Hack is a witty and incisive mystery set in the raucous world of tabloid journalism. Laugh out loud funny and suspenseful—it’s like Jack Reacher meets Jack Black.”
Rebecca Cantrell,
New York Times
bestselling author of
The Blood Gospel

“A rollicking, sharp-witted crime novel.”
Kirkus Reviews

“The man is a legend, a master of his craft, and Hack is a seamlessly flowing, imaginative translation of these realms, blended together in exciting, suspenseful and oftentimes hilariously moving prose that reads like a conversation while serving as engrossing fiction, compelling insight and eye-opening commentary. It’s a joy to read and captures the imagination from the start.”
