The UK paperback edition of A LONGER FALL is out today! The second book in Charlaine Harris‘s Gunnie Rose series, it’s published by Piatkus. Here’s the synopsis…
When Lizbeth Rose is hired onto a new crew to transport a crate into Dixie, she sees it as an easy protection gig. Dixie, the self-exiled southeast territory of the former United States, might be just about the last place she wants to visit, but the job itself is straightforward… until their cargo is stolen and her journey turns into a massacre.
Up against a wall in Dixie, Lizbeth has to go undercover with an old friend to retrieve the crate. Forces across three territories will be racing her, for what the crate contains is something powerful enough to spark a rebellion, if she can get it back in time…
Piatkus has also published the first book in the series, AN EASY DEATH, and are due to publish the third next month — THE RUSSIAN CAGE. Piatkus also publishes Harris’s Aurora Teagarden series in the UK (all ten novels!)
