‘Adam Nevill shows it’s possible to take a tried-and-tested horror cliché – the Blair Witch-esque group of friends lost in the woods - and make it horrifyingly scary again… Often horror loses its power when evil is given a face; in this case, it only gets more disturbing.’ The Sunday Times (on The Ritual) ‘This novel [The Ritual] grabs from the very first page, refuses to be laid aside, and carries the hapless reader, exhausted and wrung out, to the very last sentence… Nevill is excellent at characterisation, and evokes the terror and despair experienced by the quartet with heart-stopping fidelity. Best of all, though, is his depiction of the elemental forces of evil that haunt the hostile arctic wastelands. Superb.’ The Guardian Pan, May 2012 Option Publishers US: St Martin’s Press China (simple): Shanghai Translation France: Bragelonne Germany: Heyne Poland: Ksiaznica Russia: EXMO Spain: Planeta Thailand: Tawansong Turkey: Pegasus
From the award-winning Susanna Jones comes a haunting tale of ambition and rivalry, dark tragedy and scandal.

‘Recalls Harlan Coben – though for my money Jackson is the better writer’ The Guardian A grisly murder in a shabby New York bookstore seems to hold a special significance for Detective Callum Doyle: the victim’s been marked with a message that could have been left specially for him. But why? Furiously fast-paced, totally unpredictable and unforgettable, this is a masterpiece from the acclaimed author of Pariah.
