Inhaltsangabe

The Last Hack received incredible review coverage, including raves from Maureen Corrigan in the Washington Post and Daneet Steffens in the Boston Globe. The book was mentioned by both Carl Hiaasen and Diana Gabaldon in the Washington Post round-up "What your favorite writers are reading this summer" and by Val McDermid in the Observer's round-up of "best holiday reads 2017." It was also longlisted for the 2017 McIlvanney Prize for Scottish crime book of the year and received blurbs from Lorenzo Carcaterra, John Gilstrap, Diana Gabaldon, Chris Pavone, Joe Ide, and Thomas Perry.

Though incremental, we've seen a nice upward sales trend for Brookmyre's last two books. 2016's Black Widow netted almost double the number 2015's Dead Girl Walking did in cloth, and we have shipped almost 30% more copies of The Last Hack than we did for Black Widow.

Brookmyre's Parlabane novels have sold more than one million copies in the UK, where he is a perennial bestseller. He is an important and well-loved figure in Scottish crime writing, along with the likes of Denise Mina and Val McDermid.

Brookmyre's audience continues to build in the UK, with over 62k copies of the Black Widow sold there to date and over 30k copies of The Last Hack (UK title: Want You Gone) in print so far.

Brookmyre has devoted fans among readers and critics here in the US, including Charles McGrath at the New York Times.

We are working to build Brookmyre's American audience, including through down-priced digital backlist promotions and a big publicity push for The Last Hack and the paperback of Black Widow, which won both the 2017 Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award and the 2016 McIlvanney Scottish crime book of the year-two of the biggest crime fiction awards in the UK. We are also in the process of publishing two more Brookmyre backlist titles for the first time in the US: All Fun and Games Until Somebody Loses an Eye (winner of the 2006 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize) and The Sacred Art of Stealing.
