Stiletto: The Rook Files

Description

'Satisfying and spellbinding' Charlaine Harris. The sequel to acclaimed THE ROOK (now a major TV series!). Debuted at no.1 on US Bookscan's fantasy chart. Rook Myfanwy Thomas returns to clinch an alliance between deadly rivals and avert epic -- and slimy -- supernatural war. After years of enmity and bloodshed, two secret organisations with otherworldly abilities must merge, and there is only one person with the fearsome powers -- and bureaucratic finesse -- to get the job done. Rook Myfanwy Thomas must broker a deal between deadly rivals the Checquy -- a centuries-old covert British organization that protects society from supernatural threats; and the Grafters -- a centuries-old supernatural threat. But as bizarre attacks sweep London, threatening to sabotage negotiations, old hatreds flare. Only Myfanwy and two women who detest each other can seek out the culprits before they trigger a devastating otherworldly war. 'Endlessly imaginative and stupendously diverting' Australian Women's Weekly The all-star TV adaptation of THE ROOK is available to stream on Stan in Australia and Starz in the US.

Daniel O'Malley is a 30ish American who grew up in Australia, attended college in the US, and returned to live in Australia as an adult. He worked for many years for the Australian Transport Safety Bureau in Canberra, writing press releases for government investigations of plane crashes and runaway boats. The juxtaposition of high drama and Office-like bureaucracy at his job gave him the spark of inspiration for The Rook and subsequent Checquy novels. Daniel now writes full time.
