A Small Town
Thomas Perry
Perry is one of America’s premier thriller writers and the Mysterious Press’s best-selling author. Perry’s previous novel,
The Burglar —which follows a young burglar as she realizes she must solve a string of murders, or else become the next victim—was more local, set in LA.
A Small Town
is centered in small-town Colorado but features action-packed sequences across the country. Perry’s 2016 novel,
Forty Thieves , was a finalist for the Strand Critics Award for Best Novel and was named one of Booklist’s Top 10 Crime Novels of the Year.
A String of Beads
was a national bestseller. In a
New York Times Book Review
“By the Book” interview, Stephen King named Perry among a list of “unheralded writers” we should be reading. Perry co-wrote two books in a #1
New York Times
bestselling series with Clive Cussler.
Poison Flower
was named one of the 101 Best Crime Novels of the Past Decade by
Booklist ;
Vanishing Act
was named one of the 100 best mysteries of the twentieth century by the Independent Mystery Booksellers' Association; and
Metzger’s Dog
was voted one of the best 100 thrillers ever by NPR listeners. We have a significant investment in Perry, with seven previous titles in print and a guaranteed marketing spend/travel budget for each book. We will continue to promote the backlist through BookBub and other promotions. Perry is a Goodreads author with over 67,000 ratings and 6,000 reviews.
