You may remember Mo Hayder. You may even have read one or two of her remarkable crime novels. You may also have read some of the obituaries in the summer when she passed away far too young from Motor Neurone Disease.
Before she died though, she wrote an extraordinary novel (there truly is no other word for it) which comes to you weighted down with accolades from Karin Slaughter, Mark Billingham and Harriet Tyce, to name but a few.
It’s a high concept thriller set in an alternate universe – a hostile world of sand and burning sun - where danger lies around every corner; where death lurks as night falls, and you will kill – just to stay alive.
Think Game of Thrones in terms of the epicvision and scope of this novel.

Think Squid Game because this is a contest in which if you lose, you die – horribly. Think Hugh Howey’s novels, Wool and Sand, in terms of the visual shape-shifting world Mo Hayder – writing here as Theo Clare – has created.
It’s a beautiful book filled with the high production values you have come to expect from Goldsboro Books; I am particularly proud of the beautiful prelim map depicting the world of the Cirque in which our characters live.
I hope you will agree with me that The Book of Sand is an unforgettable book by a master storyteller at the height of her creative powers.
