The No.1 Sunday Times bestseller featuring the story 'The Life of Chuck' adapted for film by
Mike Flanagan starring Tom Hiddleston and winner of the People's Choice Award at the Toronto
Film Festival. News people have a saying: 'If it bleeds it leads'. Following a
horrific explosion at a school Holly Gibney of the Finders Keepers detective agency notices
something suspicious about the TV reporter who is first on the scene. In this riveting title
story Holly sets out to discover what he is hiding in her first solo crime case. Dancing
alongside this stand-alone sequel to The Outsider are three more irresistible long stories: 'Mr
Harrigan's Phone' sees young Craig introduce a curmudgeonly retired businessman to the wonders
of the smartphone 'The Life of Chuck' is a three act life-story - told in reverse order -
about a man whose face appears on a billboard and 'Rat' sees a struggling author head to a
remote cabin in the woods of North Maine where a deal-making rodent offers him a life-changing
pact.
