An endless cycle of meaningless emergency calls and lonely dead ends. Until he and his partner, Detective Inspector Peter ‘Sutty’ Sutcliffe, are summoned to The Palace, a vast disused hotel in the centre of a restless, simmering city. There they find the body of a man. He is dead. And he is smiling. The tags have been removed from the man’s clothes. His teeth filed down and replaced. Even his fingertips are not his own. Only a patch sewn into the inside of his trousers gives any indication as to who he was, and to the desperate last act of his life… But even as Waits puts together the pieces of this stranger’s life, someone is sifting through the shards of his own. When the mysterious fires, anonymous phone calls and outright threats escalate, he realises that a ghost from his own past haunts his every move. And to discover the smiling man’s identity, he must finally confront his own. REVIEWS "If you liked Sirens, you will love The Smiling Man. Gritty, noir, and packing a punch from the very first page." (Jane Harper) "Gritty as hell. I loved it! A great urban cop thriller" (Ian Rankin) "Sirens was one of the best books published last year and this intense, blackly comic follow-up is just as good. Joseph Knox has conjured up a sense of evil and corruption you can almost smell it." (Jake Kerridge Sunday Express) "Imperfect as Aidan Waits is, the Manchester DC is the shining light in a world peopled by the worst kinds of bad people. This is Knox's second Waits book in what holds the promise of a classic series." (Sunday Times Crime Club) "Talents such as Knox rarely emerge more than once in a generation. A crime fiction masterpiece" (Metro) "If you like your crime fiction dark, gritty an contemporary, then Joseph Knox’s latest novel is for you . . . dripping with dark humour, written with style, a dark and engrossing ride through the mean streets of Manchester" (Clair Woodward Daily Express) "Promises to be a classic series" (Guardian) "Although nominally a police procedural, The Smiling Man has the sense of place and vivid atmosphere of a classic PI novel. .. Stylish, intelligent and full of heart, Joseph Knox is the best thing to have happened to English crime fiction in years."

Transferred from his usual night shift duties and onto protective custody, he has just one job… To extract the location of Martin Wick’s final victim before the notorious mass murderer passes away. Wick has spent over a decade in prison, in near-total silence, having confessed to an unspeakable crime that shocked the nation and earned him the nickname of The Sleepwalker. But when a daring premeditated attack leaves one police officer dead and another one fighting for his life, Wick’s whispered last words will send Waits on a journey into the heart of darkness… Manipulated by a reticent psychopath from his past, and under investigation from his new partner, Detective Constable Naomi Black, Waits realises too late that a remorseless contract killer is at work. Can Aidan Waits solve his last case before fleeing justice? Or will his name be next on the hit list? https://www.josephknox.co.uk/-true-crime-story daily 0.75 2021-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5792de08cd0f6810d122b975/1621026098529-VSOTPUZCD6UT5A6IX2OM/TCS+HB+SPRAYED+EDGES2.jpg + TRUE CRIME STORY - 'Truly original' Joseph Knox novel to Doubleday Doubleday will publish Joseph Knox's True Crime Story, which the author calls his "most ambitious work", in summer 2021. Publisher Bill Scott-Kerr acquired UK and Commonwealth, European and non-exclusive rest of the world rights (excluding US and Canada) from Antony Topping at Greene & Heaton. In True Crime Story, Knox will weave together a series of interviews that will blend fact and fiction to create a "dark and pacey thriller with a twist". The title will be published in hardcover, e-book and audio on 17th June 2021. Scott-Kerr commented: "You always get a frisson of sheer pleasure when you see a supremely talented writer going up through the gears and that is precisely what Joseph has done here. After three superlative noir-ish crime thrillers featuring the beleaguered Aidan Waits, he has taken a look at the genre itself and turned it inside out. He has come up with a truly original story and an innovative way of telling it—and hasn't sacrificed one iota of suspense or excitement in so doing. I couldn't be more thrilled to be publishing True Crime Story next year—it establishes Joseph as one of the most compelling and imaginative writers in this space right now." Knox says: "True Crime Story is the book I always wanted to write, but felt too afraid to try. It’s my biggest, most ambitious work—different from anything I’ve written or read. I’m incredibly grateful to my agent, Antony Topping, and to all at Transworld for sticking by me." Doubleday previously published Knox's Aidan Waits series: Sirens (2017), The Smiling Man (2018) and The Sleepwalker(2019). According to the publisher, the series has been translated into 18 languages and is being adapted for screen by drama studio Lookout Point.
