What They Did

“Clear your calendar for What They Did. This is a from-the-first-page feat in the art of immersion. Is this how people who get lost in video games feel? I imagine so because I lived in this novel and I liked it in there.” — Caroline Kepnes "Dripping with tension, What They Did is an unflinching, emotionally charged thriller about friendship, family, and secrets that should have stayed buried. I couldn't put it down." — Sarah Pinborough, bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes "Two women must come to terms with their dark past when they try to save one woman's son from a psychopathic child TV star-turned-drug-kingpin. If gritty, relentless crime fiction is your jam, then this latest novel from Rio Youers is a must-read." — Alma Katsu, author of Fiend on What They Did "Darkly simmering and deeply emotional, What They Did is a total-immersion page-turner of a story. When a deadly secret from the past comes calling, two once-dear friends must team up to protect themselves and those they love—what will they decide when so much is at stake, and when the duality of the world is relentless and unforgiving? Beautifully written and fiercely suspenseful, this intense thriller will keep you guessing—and break your heart." — Hank Phillippi Ryan “If you’re looking for a fun, thrilling read, look no further. The Bang-Bang Sisters is a rip-roaring delight of a novel – pulpy, fast-paced, and absolutely unputdownable." — Roxane Gay, New York Times bestselling author “Buckle up for The Bang-Bang Sisters. The story rocks, the characters pop, the writing sizzles. You won’t forget Brea, Jessie, and Flo. This rock-band vigilante novel turns it up to eleven. Strap in and hold on.”  — Meg Gardiner, #1 New York Times bestselling author "A high-octane good time. Readers seeking fast action and strong female characters should check it out." — Publishers Weekly on The Bang-Bang Sisters “[A] dizzyingly plotted thriller . . . the novel motors on at blinding speed, incorporating broken families, bottomless desire for revenge, and a denouement that makes the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre seems like mere trifle. What sticks with me, though, are the quiet moments, where the wounds of long-ago personal sacrifices have room to heal.” — New York Times Book Review on Lola on Fire “Lola on Fire sizzles and scorches like fresh steak slapped on a red-hot grill. And while you might know Lola’s cousins—that girl with the dragon tattoo, the twin nemeses of Killing Eve, master assassin John Wick, even Kill Bill's Beatrix Kiddo—none of them can rival her bruised soul and bulletproof heart. How often does a ferocious action thriller gather your emotions in a net and haul them to the surface writhing and shiny? What was the last novel to kick-start your brain and your pulse at the same time? Cross Elmore Leonard with Lisa Gardner and you get Rio Youers. More Lola, please, aflame or otherwise.” — A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window “Lola on Fire serves up all the gonzo action, quotable lines, and unforgettable characters a reader could want, in a novel that rivals Killing Eve in intensity and atmosphere.” — #1 New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill “A rip-roaring Hollywood noir that smashes the pedal to the metal and keeps it there. The best villain since Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels . . . This one is hot.” — Stephen King on No Second Chances

Joe Hill, Bestsellerautor von HORNS: 'Rio Youers schreibt mit Leidenschaft und Sprachgewalt.' Josh Malerman, Bestsellerautor von BIRD BOX: 'Ich würde absolut alles verschlingen, was Youers sich ausdenkt.' Publishers Weekly, starred review: 'In diesem herzzerreißenden Roman erkundet Youers die Dunkelheit eines gesunden Geistes, der in einem reaktions­losen Körper gefangen ist ... und fängt gekonnt die Stimme und die ungeschönten Gefühle eines jungen Mannes ein, der darum kämpft, das Unvermeidliche hinauszuzögern.' Mindi, Goodreads.com: 'Westlake Soul schenkt dir Kraft, während du gleichzeitig Tränen vergießt. Dieses Buch ist großartig und brillant geschrieben.' Peter Straub: 'Rio Youers ist eines der aufregendsten jungen Talente dieser Dekade. Er schreibt wundervoll poetisch und hat ein instinktives Gespür für die Momente, in denen der Autor zeigen muss, dass er seinen Verstand beisammenhat, während seine Leser ihren verlieren.' Michael Rowe: 'In jeder Generation gibt es Schriftsteller, die es schaffen, die Seelen ihrer Figuren zu enthüllen und gleichzeitig die Geheimnisse in den Herzen der Leser offenzulegen. Rio Youers ist ein solcher Schriftsteller, und Westlake Soul - mit all seinem Leid und Schrecken, seiner Schönheit und seinem Zauber und Trost - ist ein solcher Roman: ein Klassiker von einer unvergesslichen, neuen Stimme.' Mindi, Goodreads.com: 'Dieses Buch verändert dich. Es verändert, wie du die Welt, dein Leben und die Menschen um dich herum siehst. Es ist wunderschön und lustig und herzzerreißend und so echt. Dieses Buch ist großartig und brillant geschrieben.' Holly (The Grimdragon), Goodreads.com: 'Wie beschreibt man ein Buch wie Westlake Soul? Man kann es nicht. Es ist ein Buch, das erlebt und nicht erklärt werden muss. Es ist Magie, die den Text erfüllt, aber die wahre Magie ist ... das Leben.'
