Transworld Publishers have
announced the publication of the new novel from the author of the global top
bestseller, The Girl on the Train.
Paula Hawkins’ Into The
Water will be published by Doubleday on May 2, 2017.
Into The Water is an addictive
novel of psychological suspense about the slipperiness of the truth, and a
family drowning in secrets.
With the same propulsion that captivated millions of
readers worldwide in her debut, The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins
unfurls a gripping, twisting, layered story set in a small riverside town. Once
again in Into The Water, Hawkins demonstrates her powerful understanding
of human instincts and the damage they can inflict.
Hawkins says: “This story
has been brewing for a good while. For me there is something irresistible about
the stories we tell ourselves, the way voices and truths can be hidden
consciously or unconsciously, memories can be washed away and whole histories
submerged. Then two sisters appeared, and the novel began to form.”
Hawkins’ editor, Sarah Adams, says: “Once again Paula
explores the thrilling depths of our psychology, reminding us that all is
rarely as it seems and enticing us to turn detective. Into The Water drips
with suspicion and the ghostly echoes of the past. It is a menacing, moving,
deeply satisfying read which entranced me from first page to last. We couldn’t
be more excited to share it with her eagerly awaiting readers.”
Lizzy Kremer, Hawkins’ literary agent, says: “Into
The Water is incredibly dark and moving. Only Paula Hawkins could have
written it. It is an unflinching and original book that is both a terrific
thriller and a beautiful novel.”
