Bookouture to publish third Stephanie King novel by bestselling author Rachel Abbott in the US and Canada

We are delighted to announce that we will be publishing the third Stephanie King novel by bestselling author Rachel Abbott.

Publisher Ruth Tross acquired North American rights from Lizzy Kremer and Maddalena Cavaciuti at David Higham. British and Commonwealth rights were simultaneously acquired by Jack Butler, Publisher at Headline. The long-awaited new novel in the Stephanie King series, as yet untitled, will publish in September 2023.  

Ruth said,

‘Rachel Abbott needs no introduction as one of the finest psychological thriller writers out there, and I am completely over the moon to be publishing her in the US and Canada. It’s a brilliantly twisty story of a disappearance and the dark secrets that lie within families, and I was gripped from start to finish. I can’t wait to share it with Rachel’s many fans.’

Rachel said,

‘I’ve been so impressed and delighted with Bookouture’s publishing of And So It Begins and The Invitation, and I’m looking forward to continuing our successful partnership.
