The Disappearance (2024)
Remigiusz Mróz
"A master storyteller."

The Fury (2024)
Alex Michaelides
"Mesmerising - a beguiling labyrinth of twists and surprises, even better than The Silent Patient. The Fury is The Magus meets The Secret History on a Greek island paradise where nothing is as it seems, and Alex Michaelides is a master magician, skilfully misdirecting the reader at every turn."
