Tor.com Publishing is thrilled to announce the acquisition of Ragged Alice, a new novella by Gareth L. Powell. Senior Editor Lee Harris negotiated World English rights with Alexander Cochran of C+W.

A small Welsh town. A string of murders. And a detective who can literally see the evil in people’s souls.

Orphaned at an early age, DCI Holly Craig grew up in the small Welsh coastal town of Pontyrhudd. As soon as she was old enough, she ran away to London and joined the police. Now, fifteen years later, she’s back in her old hometown to investigate what seems at first to be a simple hit-and-run, but which soon escalates into something far deadlier and unexpectedly personal—something that will take all of her peculiar talents to solve.

Said Lee Harris:

I’ve been hoping to work with Gareth for some time, and this tale of horror set in the Welsh valleys reflects my childhood, and reminds me of the horrors of my adolescence. So, thanks, Gareth! It’s a great story, brilliantly told.

Said the author:

This is a very personal story for me, as well as a departure from my usual style and genre, and so I’m delighted to be working with Tor.com Publishing. They’ve published some truly impressive novellas by some great writers, and I’m thrilled to see Ragged Alice join their ranks.

Gareth L. Powell is the author of five science-fiction novels and two short story collections. His third novel, Ack-Ack Macaque, book one in the Macaque Trilogy, was the winner of the 2013 BSFA novel award. He lives in Bristol, UK. Find him on Twitter @garethlpowell.
