Our next cover reveal this week is the next standalone book from Ragnar Jonasson, Outside (April 2022, Michael Joseph).
When a deadly snowstorm strikes the Icelandic highlands, four friends seek shelter in a small abandoned hunting lodge.
It is in the middle of nowhere ,and there's no way of communicating with the outside world.
They are isolated, but they are not alone....
As the night darkens, and fears intensify, an old tragedy gradually surfaces - one that forever changed the course of their friendship.
Those dark memories could hold the key to the mystery the friends now find themselves in.
And whether they will survive until morning....

Another cover reveal for you: this time, it's the new standalone crime thriller from New York Times bestselling author, Brian McGilloway: The Empty Room (March 2022, Little Brown).
What do you do when your child goes missing?
Pandora - Dora - Conlon wakes one morning to discover her 17-year old daughter Ellie, has not come home after a party.
The day Ellie disappears, Dora is alone as her husband Eamon has already left for the day in his job as a long-distance lorry driver. So Dora does the usual things: rings around Ellie's friends... but no one knows where she is. Her panic growing, Dora tries the local hospitals and art college where Ellie is a student - but then the police arrive on her doorstep with the news her daughter's handbag has been discovered dumped in a layby.
So begins Dora's ordeal of waiting and not knowing what has become of her girl. Eamon's lack of empathy and concern, Dora realises, is indicative of the state of their marriage, and left on her own, Dora begins to reassess everything she thought she knew about her family and her life. Increasingly isolated and disillusioned with the police investigation, Dora feels her grip on reality slipping as she takes it upon herself to find her daughter - even if it means tearing apart everything and everybody she had ever loved, and taking justice into her own hands.
