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!)

Gunnie Rose fans, your wait is finally over! A LONGER FALL, the second novel in Charlaine Harris‘s latest series, is published today in the UK by Piatkus! Here’s the synopsis…

The second of the Gunnie Rose series, in which Lizbeth is hired onto a new crew, transporting a crate into Dixie, the self-exiled southeast territory of the former United States. What the crate contains is something so powerful, that forces from across three territories want to possess it.

In this second thrilling installment of the Gunnie Rose series, Lizbeth Rose is hired onto a new crew for a seemingly easy protection job, transporting a crate into Dixie, just about the last part of the former United States of America she wants to visit. But what seemed like a straight-forward job turns into a massacre as the crate is stolen. Up against a wall in Dixie, where social norms have stepped back into the last century, Lizbeth has to go undercover with an old friend to retrieve the crate as what’s inside can spark a rebellion, if she can get it back in time.

Piatkus also publishes (in the UK) the first novel in the series, AN EASY DEATH, and the author’s Aurora Teagarden cozy mystery series.

Here are just a few reviews that AN EASY DEATH has received…

Harris…populates her gritty, immersive new world with genuinely interesting characters, and chilling moments of horror — of both the human and supernatural kind—punctuate this relentlessly paced road trip. A refreshing and cinematic, weird Western starring a sharp-as-nails, can-do heroine. Harris’ many fans will surely follow Gunnie Rose anywhere.’ — Kirkus
