Penguin-Random House UK’s TRANSWORLD imprint
have been busy, what with celebrating publication of Lee Child’s 21st
Jack Reacher thriller NIGHT
SCHOOL [which hit No 1 in the UK on release], the release in PB of Alison
Gaylin’s WHAT REMAINS OF ME this week - as well as announcing 5
debut thrillers planned for 2017.
So we were delighted to hear of what Paul
Hawkins has in store for readers in 2017.
Into The Water is an addictive novel of
psychological suspense about the slipperiness of the truth, and a family
drowning in secrets.
With the same propulsion that captivated
millions of readers worldwide in her debut, The
Girl on the Train, Paula
Hawkins unfurls a gripping, twisting, layered story set in a small riverside
town. Once again in Into The
Water Hawkins
demonstrates her powerful understanding of human instincts and the damage they
can inflict.
Paula Hawkins says: “This
story has been brewing for a good while. For me there is something
irresistible about the stories we tell ourselves, the way voices and truths can
be hidden consciously or unconsciously, memories can be washed away and whole
histories submerged. Then two sisters appeared, and the novel began to
form.”
Paula’s Editor, Sarah Adams, says: “Once again Paula explores the thrilling
depths of our psychology, reminding us that all is rarely as it seems and
enticing us to turn detective. Into The
Water drips with suspicion and the ghostly echoes of the past. It is a menacing, moving, deeply satisfying
read which entranced me from first page to last. We couldn’t be more excited to share it with
her eagerly awaiting readers.”
Paula’s literary agent, Lizzy Kremer, says: “Into The Water is incredibly dark and
moving. Only Paula Hawkins could have
written it. It is an unflinching and
original book that is both a terrific thriller and a beautiful novel.”
Publication of Into the Water will be supported by a huge multimedia PR and
marketing campaign and major promotions across all retailers. Into the
Water will be published in hardcover, ebook and both CD and digital
download audio and can be pre-ordered via Shots Magazine’s bookstore here
