Insomnia
Sarah Pinborough
Put this book on your radar: @SarahPinborough's INSOMNIA is the twistiest & most gripping thriller since Paula Hawkins' GIRL ON THE TRAIN, an absolute must-read for suspense fans. The pages fly & the revelations deliver shock after shock. Don't sleep on this one. Out in Spring.

In Pale Battalions
Robert Goddard
I think the experience would be enhanced by having read at least IN PALE BATTALIONS GO, the three issue series that teed up HELL & GONE. But if we did our job right, no, it's not necessary... you can come to the series innocent. https://t.co/SV3s2ruXPV
