The debut YA, and Costa-shortlisted novel from Darren Charlton, Wranglestone, has a brand new cover (illustrated by Karl J. Mountford), coming soon, and we couldn't love it any more. 

This is an action-packed and thought-provoking book for fans of Patrick Ness and Marcus Sedgwick

The book was also selected by both The Times and Observer as one of their top books of 2020.


In anticipation of its release on 22nd July 2021, Gollancz have released a trailer for Adam Simcox's debut novel, The Dying Squad. 

​You can catch the full trailer here.

We were delighted to see both Femi Kayode and David Fennell's upcoming debuts Lightseekers and The Art of Death, respectively, listed in Crime Fiction Lover's 'On the Radar' column. If you'd like to see more details on these incredible books, plus others on the list, click this link.

Later this week sees the release of Georgia Kaufmann's sweeping historical debut, The Dressmaker of Paris. The blog tour has begun (make sure you're following the hashtag #TheDressmakerOfParis to see all the reviews coming in - and they're pretty smashing), and in addition, MyWeekly reviewed the book in their latest issue:

"Spanning time and the globe, this is a historical novel with a difference, following Rosa Kusstatscher's journey to global fashion icon. Delicious descriptions of Chanel perfume bottles and cultural references combine to add sparkle. Ideal for fans of Fiona Valpy."


The paperback of Liberation, the true story of WW2 heroine Nancy Wake, co-written by client Imogen Robertson, was released this week. 

Nancy Wake was a soldier who led a battalion of 7,000 French Resistance fighters who called her Field Marshall. Who had a 5-million Franc bounty on her head. Who killed a Nazi with her bare hands. Who defeated 22,000 Germans with the loss of only 100 men. Who sold her medals because, "I'll probably go to hell and they'd melt anyway."

Also published this week, was the paperback for Ragnar Jónasson's new, and final, Dark Iceland thriller, starring Ari Thor, Winterkill. 

Chilling, claustrophobic and disturbing, Winterkill is a startling addition to the multi-million-copy bestselling Dark Iceland series and cements Jónasson as one of the most exciting and acclaimed authors in crime fiction. 


A couple of international sales made us happy this week:

Jo Thomas' romantic Grecian adventure, The Honey Farm on the Hill, was sold to Era in Bulgaria.

Both The Curator and the forthcoming Dead Ground by M. W. Craven were sold to Denmark's Jentas.

Finally, we are welcoming a new author to DHH this week. 

Thomas D. Lee, who joins Harry Illingworth's list, writes novels about folklore and climate breakdown, often at the same time. He believes all sorts of things about how art and literature can be used as tools to fight for a better future, but mostly he just wants to make his readers laugh.
 
He holds a BA in History and an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Manchester, where he is currently studying for a PhD.

Thomas is currently working on his debut novel, ​The Matter of Britain.
