We are thrilled to announce that Publisher Kathryn Taussig has acquired World English rights in ebook, paperback and audio for two new psychological thrillers by Rebecca de Winter. The deal was negotiated by Alison Bonomi at LBA. Rebecca’s debut psychological thriller, Best Friends, published to rave reviews in 2023, and her second book is coming this autumn, 2024.
The new books will be released in September 2025 and September 2026. The first one follows Charlie, who – since the disappearance of her teenage sister a decade ago – can’t seem to move on. Summoned home as her father is dying, she takes the chance to lay her sister’s ghost to rest once and for all. But is blood thicker than water when it comes to finding out the truth?
Kathryn Taussig says of the deal:
“Rebecca de Winter’s ability to craft intricate plots and complex characters never fails to captivate readers – she really is the master of the shocking twist! On a personal level, she’s a delight to work with and her books are so fun to edit. I know readers are going to love these next stories as Becky further hones her craft.”
Rebecca says:
“I am over the moon to be staying with Storm for two new books. I have absolutely loved being published by them so far, and working with my amazing editor, Kathryn Taussig. I can’t wait for readers to discover my next thrillers, with more twists, characters and atmospheric settings that I hope they will love.”
