My new novel Phantom at the Feast is published on 18 June 2026.

If you’d like to get it on the day, you can pre-order direct from your favourite retailer, whether that’s Waterstones | Blackwells | Amazon | direct from the publisher — or from your local independent bookshop!

Supposedly, pre-ordering helps the algorithm – whatever that means – but who knows! In any case, if you enjoyed The Fountain in the Forest, or any of my previous novels, then maybe you’ll enjoy this one: Phantom at the Feast, out 18 June from No Exit Press.

The cover features the incredible London photography of Chris Dorley-Brown, and typography by designer Mark Ecob – what a privilege.

I can’t wait to see how Phantom… looks in the shops. Once it’s out, if you should happen to see it on your travels, do feel free to take a photo and send or share it with me!
