In conversation with Crown Publishing’s Senior Vice President and Fiction Publisher Amy Einhorn, meet UK-based author Chris Whitaker during his limited US tour for a discussion of his latest bestseller, All the Colors of the Dark (2024), a book that Jenna Bush Hager is turning into a mini-series. This heart-wrenching genre-bending epic depicts the fine line that separates light and dark, triumph and tragedy, and devotion and obsession. Set in Missouri beginning in the 1970s and spanning over 25 years, the novel is part mystery, part serial killer thriller, and part love story. Girls in the small town of Monta Clare have been disappearing. When the daughter of a wealthy family becomes the target, an unlikely hero emerges in Patch Macauley, a local boy, born with only one eye, who saves her. Haunting and beautiful, the story explores how childhood wounds impact adulthood as it focuses on Patch, his best friend Saint, and Patch's multi-year effort to locate another one of the girls who had been abducted.

CHRIS WHITAKER is the award-winning author of Tall Oaks, All the Wicked Girls, We Begin at the End, and All the Colors of the Dark.
