✨COVER REVEAL✨ ‘Fabulous suspense, gut-chur ✨COVER REVEAL✨ ‘Fabulous suspense, gut-churning tension and terrific plotting had me gripped’ MK Murphy The Devil’s Smile is the chilling new crime novel from bestselling author Daniel Sellers, out 21st August. Pre-order your copy via the link in our bio. October, 1995. Adrian Brown’s second year at Leeds University is a blur of throbbing bass line and neon-lit nights out. However, a shocking encounter with an older man he met in a basement club has the power to sober him up. Sheila Hargreaves, who has grown fond of Adrian following their brush with the Lollipop Man a year ago, has a book coming out about the murders and is busy with a new TV show, Yorkshire Crimetime. Busy doesn’t quite cover it though when she has to pick up the pieces for her erratic co-presenter Tony Tranter. And then Tony goes missing and doesn’t turn up hungover but stabbed to death in the shadows of a railway arch. His death seems to be linked to a number of violent attacks on men. Moving from shadowy corners of the city to the glare of the TV studio lights, Sheila and Adrian find themselves on the path of another killer.
A detective yarn like no other – Big Bad Wool is A detective yarn like no other – Big Bad Wool is the long-awaited follow-up to Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann. Out 6th May, preorder your copy via the link in our bio. A flock of sheep graze on the edge of a peaceful French forest. But these are not your average sheep and, in reality, the setting is far from tranquil. While the herd are the cleverest you will ever encounter, thanks to their shepherds’ regular bedtime stories and previous testing of their detective skills, they are unprepared for a fresh threat. Several sheep have recently disappeared, and other creatures have fallen prey to a shadowy figure. The theory of a werewolf might be just a wild fairy tale, but when a human is killed, it becomes clear that even fantasies can be fatal. Miss Maple, Mopple and the rest of the flock, with the help of their goat neighbours, follow the werewolf’s trail in a desperate attempt to stop the killings with sheep logic, courage, and concentrated food.

Isolation Ward is out 17th April. Pre-order via the link in our bio. Yorkshire, 1983. Margaret Thatcher is in Number 10, ‘Thriller’ is on the radio and Lorraine Quick is having to put plans to tour with her band on hold due to work. With her expertise in psychometric testing, she is being sent to the Yorkshire moors to build a PR-friendly team out of the ragtag staff of the infamous Windwell Asylum as it transitions into a modern, top-security unit housing some of the most dangerous criminals in the country. And then Lorraine stumbles on a brutal murder that has taken place despite the fifteen-foot-high perimeter wall and the heavy-duty locks. Between the asylum’s lingering reputation for violence, the haunting underground tunnels of the old institution and the arrival of almost-old flame DS Diaz to investigate the murder, events are coming to a head for Lorraine.
