The Journalist

Paperback

$13.44

--Journalists have long been the protagonists of great modern crime fiction, from Jack McEvoy, the hero of Michael Connelly's #1 bestsellers, to Irene Kelly, the reporter from Jan Burke, to Mikael Blomqvist of Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy. Newman combined the dogged determination to investigate in his main character along with an equally devious side to cover up his own past.
--Diversion published a mystery with a strong supernatural element called The Clearing by Dan Newman in 2016. We look to relaunch him with a book that has no supernatural elements as a standalone and a fresh start.
--THE JOURNALIST is a twisting cat-and-mouse mystery, with the hook being that the protagonist is both the cat and the mouse. It's a slow burn of tautly written suspense.
--Newman is an active blogger who enjoys interacting with his readers, and makes himself readily available.
--Newman has an active social media presence.

Media Reviews

Told in lush, hypnotic prose that perfectly mirrors its mysterious Caribbean landscape, The Clearing is one man's quest for the brutal truth at the heart of his deadly self-deception. Throughout, Dan Newman keeps the lines of suspense tense and razor-sharp. An intoxicating, important debut. --Laura Benedict, author of Isabella Moon and Devil's Oven on The Clearing
The Clearing is a dark and atmospheric psychological thriller, full of intrigue, terror and superstition, which examines our deep fear of the unknown. --Gumshoe Reviews on The Clearing
(An) expertly done study of a reptile brain at work. - Booklist

The Clearing is a dark and atmospheric psychological thriller, full of intrigue, terror and superstition, which examines our deep fear of the unknown. --Gumshoe Reviews on The Clearing

Author Bio

Dan Newman counts his having been raised in-transit around the globe as his most valuable education - despite a Masters degree in Journalism. The son of a globe-trotting international development worker, Dan grew up in St. Lucia, Lesotho, Swaziland, England, Canada, and Australia. Ask him where he comes from and you'll get a puzzled look, but it's left a love of travel, writing and far-flung places. He now lives with his wife and son just outside of Toronto, Canada.
