Corvus has snapped up two "devastatingly twisty" new psychological suspense novels by Emma Curtis.
Publishing director Sarah Hodgson acquired UK and Commonwealth rights from Rebecca Ritchie at A M Heath, and the first novel in the deal, The Aftermath, will be published in paperback original format and e-book in October 2025. "It centres on the devastating consequences for two families of a teenage girl’s lie," the publisher’s synopsis says.
Curtis’ first five novels were published by Transworld, and she moved to Corvus with The Babysitter, published in October 2023, which has sold well over 15,544 copies to date through the Total Consumer Market.
Hodgson said: "Emma Curtis is a top-notch writer of psychological suspense. She always delivers a breathtakingly unputdownable read featuring relatable yet flawed protagonists and water-tight plotting. I’m over the moon that I get to continue publishing her on the Corvus list."
Curtis added: "I’m absolutely delighted that Corvus will be publishing The Aftermath. Working with Sarah on The Babysitter and The Commuter has been such a pleasure and the team’s enthusiasm for my novels has made the hard work worthwhile. I feel very privileged to work with an editor who inspires me to push my writing to another level."
