ONE NEEDS A STORY.
THE OTHER IS THE STORY.
THE FALLOUT COULD RUIN THEM BOTH.
No story sells faster than a celebrity’s downfall. . .
Washed-up journalist Frankie Miller is desperate. Since losing her dream job at a glossy magazine, she’s been drowning in rejection letters and overdue bills while eating cereal for dinner.
So, when she’s offered a role at The Scoop, a notorious tabloid website run by tyrannical editor David Brown, she can’t afford to say no - even if it means swallowing her pride for clicks. Besides, it’s just a temporary means to an end. Nothing more.
But the deeper Frankie dives into the cutthroat world of clickbait, the blurrier the line between ambition and morality becomes. And when she breaks a story that humiliates a beloved pop star, the fallout is more explosive than she ever imagined - for both of them.
In an industry where reputation is currency and outrage sells, how far is Frankie willing to go - and how much is she willing to lose - to win at this ruthless game?
Sharp, witty, and unflinchingly bold, The Scoop pulls back the curtain on tabloid culture and the human toll of the 24/7 news cycle, perfect for fans of Yellowface, The List and Succession.
PRAISE FOR THE SCOOP:
‘A timely, commanding, blistering debut, this one’s sure to leave a lasting mark’ ASHLEY TATE
‘Quickly becomes tough to look away from’ NATALIE SUE
‘Smart and savage...a devastating satire’ RUTH MADIEVSKY
‘Snappy, fun, and set in the always-fascinating world of New York media. Loved it!’ CAT MARNELL

omeone’s been waiting. Someone’s been watching.

From the #1 internationally bestselling author of What Happened to Nina? comes a gripping high-stakes novel of suspense about three seemingly unconnected people, caught in a lethal web of deceit and unhealed wounds.


Three gifts. Three victims. One deadly game.

Alexis Turner walks into the police station to report an assault. By the end of the day, she is nowhere to be found.

Soon after she disappears, three identical packages arrive at three very different doors: a respected psychologist’s home, a socialite’s mansion, and a struggling single father’s run-down apartment. Inside, each gift is perfectly tailored to its recipient - and each will tear apart the life of its intended victim.

Detective Sergeant Judith Lee is smart and experienced, but this is no ordinary case. Someone with intimate knowledge of their targets is orchestrating these attacks. Someone who knows exactly how to hurt each victim where they’re most vulnerable. And she’s convinced that somehow, it connects back to Alexis Turner.

As she races to uncover the connection between three seemingly unrelated people, Judith discovers she’s no longer just investigating the game - she’s being forced to play.

‘Three reasons to read this book: taut plotting, clever twists and terrifying secrets. McTiernan pulls no punches in this dark, explosive thriller’ Lisa Gardner

‘Dervla McTiernan braids a masterfully-woven web of deceit ‘ Stacy Willingham, New York Times bestselling author

‘A riveting psychological thriller with a hugely satisfying mystery at its heart. Three Reasons for Revenge is a brilliant read!’ Evelyn Clarke, author of The Ending Writes Itself
