'THE FRENCH SUSPENSE KING' NEW YORK TIMES 'ONE OF THE GREAT
THRILLER WRITERS OF OUR AGE' DAILY EXPRESS Paris, a misty night a
few days before Christmas: a young woman is saved from the waters
of the Seine. She is naked, doesn't remember her name or how she
ended up in the river, but is still alive. The mysterious woman is
taken to the hospital - and then disappears in thin air. DNA
testing reveals her to be celebrated concert pianist Milena Bergman
- but that cannot be: Milena died in a plane crash more than a year
before. As police captain Roxane begins to investigate, her fate
becomes intertwined with that of writer Raphaël Batailley,
Milena's former boyfriend, and the two are plunged deep into an
impossible enigma: is it possible to be alive and dead at the same
time?

'THE FRENCH SUSPENSE KING' New York Times 'It's no wonder that
Musso is one of France's most loved, bestselling authors' Harlan
Coben In 1999, after publishing three cult novels, celebrated
author Nathan Fawles announces the end of his writing career and
withdraws to Beaumont, a wild and beautiful island off the
Mediterranean coast. Autumn 2018. As Fawles' novels continue to
captivate readers, Mathilde Monney, a young Swiss journalist,
arrives on the island, determined to unlock the writer's secrets
and secure his first interview in twenty years. That same day, a
woman's body is discovered on the beach and the island is cordoned
off by the authorities. And so, begins a dangerous face off between
Mathilde and Nathan, in which the line between truth and fiction
becomes increasingly blurred... Praise for Guillaume Musso and The
Reunion 'Extraordinary' Sunday Times 'Breathtakingly good. Do not
miss it' Daily Mail 'One of the great thriller writers of our age'

almost a decade, Guillaume Musso has reigned supreme as France's
most popular author, and with this he's instantly poised to join
the ranks of Stieg Larsson and Jo Nesbo' A.J. Finn, author of The
Woman in the Window

Just a few months ago, Tom Boyd was a multi-million-selling author
living in LA, in love with a world-famous pianist. But after a very
public break-up he's shut himself away, suffering from total
writer's block, with only drink and drugs for company. One night, a
beautiful, naked stranger appears in Tom's house. She claims to be
Billie, a character from his novels, who has fallen into the real
world because of a printer's error in his latest book. Crazy as her
story sounds; Tom comes to see that this must be the real Billie.
And she wants to strike a deal with him: if he writes his next
novel she can go back to the world of fiction; in return she will
help him win back his beloved Aurore. What does he have to lose?
