Is This Another Celebrity Exploit?

BRIGHTON, U.K. - June 30, 2014 - PRLog -- Independent Publisher Receives New Novel by Mystery Writer

Brighton based publishing house, PenSup, were pleased to accept a manuscript sent to them by new author, Alex Radcliffe. “It’s excellently written – intense and explosive, with some highly provocative elements, so we were delighted to take it on,” said John Pelling.

“We were thrilled to receive endorsements for this book from top novelists, Fay Weldon and Nicci French,” says Pete Howells. Then Alex Radcliffe sent a DVD of extracts read by Lesley Manville, celebrated actress and recent Olivier Award Winner. The extract (https://tinyurl.com/k3tmkme)is frighteningly real and gripping to the point of making the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.  “We had to ask ourselves, who is Alex Radcliffe?  Is this another well-known writer trying out a new genre?”

Many crime writers use a nom de plume. The story has Patricia Cornwell’s analysis of cold killers, the psychological complexity of Sophie Hannah’s characters and the raw social drama of the late Stieg Larsson’s work. Alex Radcliffe rivets the reader with a unique treatment of difficult and scary themes.

Compulsive page-turner

‘A short film about Serial Killing’is a gripping courtroom drama loosely based on the most notorious ever UK serial killers. Three women are locked into a battle with good and evil. Which - if any of them - is guilty? And what is she guilty of? With an explosive story, painfully true forensic detail and fascinatingly flawed characters, this is a compulsive page-turner. The narrative is riveting, the characters entirely believable and the case detail all too real.

‘A short film about Serial Killing’ will be published initially in EBook format and is now available in 245 territories via Amazon and also pensup.co.uk. PenSup have no immediate plans to publish this novel in paperback format but are not dismissing the possibility in the near future.

The publishers know nothing about Alex Radcliffe other than the fact that the writer lives in London and has at least two other novels ready to go.
