Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

- A book whose divided narrative perspective and youthful protagonist recalls Bauer's masterpiece Rubbernecker. - Snap pits a teenage boy against the world-the social workers who, if they knew his father had left, would put him and his sisters in foster care; the neighbors who have everything and share none of it; and most of all, the person who murdered his mother three years ago. - Bauer's profile is steadily rising in the crime community this side of the pond. Her previous novel, The Beautiful Dead, earned great reviews from Entertainment Weekly (online), Strand Magazine, Financial Times (UK), and other sources. - As we've done for writers like Mo Hayder, Val McDermid, and Mark Billingham, we've made a commitment to multiple books by Belinda Bauer, both frontlist and backlist-and have established her as a significant writer in the crime community. - Bauer's novel Rubbernecker won the 2014 Theakston's Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award and was selected for the Guardian's list of the best crime and thrillers of the year and as an Amazon Best Book of the Month (Mystery, Thriller & Suspense). The Shut Eye was shortlisted for the 2015 Crime Writers' Association's Goldsboro Gold Dagger Award and The Facts of Life and Death was shortlisted for the 2015 Theakston's Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award. - Bauer's books have been blurbed by Val McDermid, Mo Hayder, Mark Billingham, Ann Cleeves, Sophie Hannah, Koethi Zan, and Sharon Bolton, among others. - Bauer won the 2010 Crime Writers' Association's Gold Dagger Award for Crime Novel of the Year for her first novel, Blacklands, and the 2013 CWA Dagger in the Library Award for outstanding body of work.
