We publish thrillers that pull you into the shadows, blurring truth and lie, motive and fear. Every story is a test of nerves, a descent into obsession, betrayal, and the unexpected. We deliver novels that strike fast and linger long after the final page.
Psychological Procedural
When Jude blacks out at Lingfield Racecourse, the racecourse begins to uncover what he has dragged behind him for years. Every step closer feels like walking into a trap of his own making, because what he is hunting has been waiting for him all along.
Nerves frayed, memory slipping, time missing, he still catches what others miss: a smear on a saddle, a scuff in chalk dust, a splinter under his palm. Each fragment pulls him deeper into the past he tried to bury and toward the truth he fears most, that he may be hiding from himself.
As suspicion hardens and the body count rises, Jude must face the possibility that the truth will not free him at all. It will only prove what he has always feared, that the guilt he carries is his own.
Meta Fiction
1973. Hariette returns to Holtye House with one purpose: revenge. Once, the National Trust’s Victorian estate took everything from her. Now she means to put it right. A nurse is found dead in the corridors, a quiet programme for insomniacs operates behind locked doors, and the staff speak in careful half truths.
Hariette starts to keep a record: names, dates, rooms, the small things others miss. A torn photograph. A ledger no one signs anymore. A key in the wrong pocket. Each clue points to an older crime, and each step draws her deeper into the house’s cold routine.
Night after night, the corridors close in. If she can follow the trail to its end, she can set right what went wrong. If she cannot, Holtye House will keep its secrets and her. Holtye House remembers. And it never forgives.
Psychological Espionage
Dr Christopher Rossi walked away from the programme he helped create. A rogue MI6 unit is on the verge of weaponising memory. Across Europe, sleepers wake and erase every link to their pasts. The Palace of Westminster burns.
To stop the cascade he must find the source and kill it before they finish the lesson and redraw the map. He knows it. He built it.
If memory is the trigger, identity is collateral.
Services
We publish distinctive thrillers across psychological, crime, whodunit, and espionage. The focus is strong hooks, credible psychology, and pace that earns every page turn. We shape concepts, strengthen structure, and polish line by line so the voice lands with force.
We also welcome introductions and recommendations from agents and scouts who are building careers for debut and emerging writers. If you represent a writer with a breakout thriller, we would like to talk.
We publish with adaptation in mind. Clear premises, visual set pieces, and character engines that travel well. If a project catches the eye of a producer, manager, or agent, we invite the conversation and support a smooth path forward.
We are a publisher, not an agency. Rights and negotiations proceed with the author’s representation or trusted partners. We are looking to meet agents, scouts, and screen partners who share our aim, to take strong titles into the right hands.
Publication is the start of the story. We design covers, copy, and campaigns that invite readers in, then build touchpoints that keep them talking, from clubs and festivals to podcasts and digital events. The aim is steady momentum, not one week of noise.
We collaborate with booksellers, librarians, bloggers, and influencers, and we welcome contact from agents and producers who want materials or access to our titles. If you are looking to move a project forward, we are ready to help.
