New Stephenie Meyer thriller in November

Publishers Little Brown and Hachette Australia have announced the forthcoming release of The Chemist, a new thriller by Twilight author Stephenie Meyer, to be published worldwide on 15 November. The Chemist will be Meyer’s first thriller for adults, and tells the story of an ex-agent on the run from the US government, who agrees to take one more case to clear her name. Meyer said the book was ‘created from the union of my romantic sensibilities and my obsession with Jason Bourne/Aaron Cross’. Little, Brown and Orion CEO David Shelley described the novel as ‘a brilliant thriller that holds you in its grip to the very last page’.  ‘There’s a very good reason why Stephenie Meyer is one of the best-loved and most successful authors in the world. Her storytelling powers are legendary, and her characters are unforgettable,’ said Shelley. The book will be released by Hachette Australia in Australia and New Zealand in trade paperback format and priced at A$32.99 and NZ$37.99.
