The Cooper and Fry series has a new publisher in the UK. After 10 books with HarperCollins, the time seemed right for a move, and I'm delighted to have teamed up with Little, Brown, who already publish the likes of Mark Billingham and Val McDermid.Leaving a publisher is a bit like getting divorced, especially as I was lucky enough to have the same editor at HarperCollins for 10 years - the inestimable Julia Wisdom. But Little, Brown are a top-notch outfit, and I'm excited by the stunning new look they've come up with for the series.
This is the cover for the new Cooper and Fry novel THE DEVIL'S EDGE, which will be published by Little, Brown on 7th April. Let me know what you think!
THE DEVIL'S EDGE can be pre-ordered at all the usual places. And don't forget to keep an eye on the Events page on the website for dates of signings around publication time.

WHOEVER WROTE THE SYNOPSIS ON THE BACK COVER, DIDN'T READ THE BOOK. DC COOPER IS NOW DS COOPER; DIANE FRY BARELY FEATURES UNTIL NEAR THE END. THE CASE IS NOT OPEN AND SHUT AS THERE ARE NO SUSPECTS AND THE BODY COUNT HARDLY RISES.I AM SORRY, BUT WHAT IS LITTLE MORE THAN HOUSE TO HOUSE ENQUIRIES IS HARDLY SUSPENSEFUL AND TO ME WAS STEPHEN BOOTH'S MOST BORING NOVEL TO DATE. DIANE FRY'S PROBLEMS AND DC MURFINS APPETITE AND ATTITUDE HAVE ALL PASSED THEIR SELL-BY DATE
ReplyDeleteI really liked it, but it got me a bit worried that Diane is leaving the series. I really hope that is not the case!
