There is nothing quite like discovering an author you just know is going to become a favourite and that's exactly what I felt when I read The Quiet People by Paul Cleave last year. It was easily one of my top reads of 2021 and I've taken every opportunity since to recommend it. So I was thrilled and honoured when Karen Sullivan from Orenda Books asked me if I'd like to share the exclusive cover reveal for his next book, The Pain Tourist (how great is that title?!)
If you can't wait to see the cover then scroll down the page now but if you'd like to know more about the book too, read on for the blurb...
A young man wakes from a coma to find himself targeted by the men who killed his parents, while someone is impersonating a notorious New Zealand serial killer … the latest chilling, nerve-shredding, twisty thriller from the author of The Quiet People…
James Garrett was critically injured when he was shot following his parents’ execution, and no one expected him to waken from a deep, traumatic coma. When he does, nine years later, Detective Inspector Rebecca Kent is tasked with closing the case that her now retired colleague, Theodore Tate, failed to solve all those years ago.
But between that, and hunting for Copy Joe – a murderer on a spree, who’s imitating Christchurch’s most notorious serial killer – she’s going to need Tate’s help … especially when they learn that James has lived out another life in his nine-year coma, and there are things he couldn’t possibly know, including the fact that Copy Joe isn’t the only serial killer in town…
It sounds absolutely brilliant and I already know I'm going to love it! Paul Cleave is an incredible writer and it's not just me saying that;
‘Paul Cleave is an automatic must-read for me’ Lee Child
‘You can’t be a true fan of crime fiction if you’re not reading Cleave’s books’ Tom Wood
‘Uses words as lethal weapons’ New York Times
I think I've kept you waiting long enough now (unless you're the sort of person who goes for instant gratification and has already scrolled down!)
Ready?
It gives me great pleasure to present...
The Pain Tourist by Paul Cleave
Another stunner by the brilliant Mark Swan at kid-ethic. I can't wait to read it!
The Pain Tourist will be published by Orenda Books on 10th November 2022. It can be pre-ordered now from bookshop.org, Hive, Waterstones and Amazon or even better, from your favourite independent bookshop.
