Thanks to an impressive sell-in and significant media interest, Black Inc. is pre-emptively reprinting another 10k of Paddy Manning’s highly anticipated biography of Lachlan Murdoch, The Successor, bringing its total print run to 30k. Publisher Chris Feik says, ‘Many thanks to the booksellers of Australia for seeing the potential of The Successor! We guarantee a gripping read.’
The Successor is the first major biography of Lachlan Murdoch, and is an epic saga of ruthless power plays and family battles. Monica Attard says, ‘Who Lachlan Murdoch is, how he thinks and what he does with his power is vital to Australian democracy. Paddy Manning has it all covered. If the writers of Succession read this book, they’ll be in work for years to come.’
Be sure to get your orders (and re-orders) in for this hot Christmas title. Trade orders can be placed through your UBD account, with ISBN 9781760642365. The Successor will be released on 1 November.
