DARK VOYAGE

ONE SMALL SACRIFICE was my fifth book, but the first to become a bestseller. If you haven’t read it yet, now’s your chance: it’s a Kindle Daily Deal! Get it today for 99 cents! This book had gotten a lot of love from critics — here are a couple of reviews:

“Fans of Karin Slaughter, Tana French, and Lisa Gardner will devour this new police procedural, which boasts a strong female detective and an intriguing antagonist. Sheryn [Sterling] will draw in readers, and Davidson’s complex storytelling will keep them wanting more.” — Library Journal (starred review)

“The story line veers between alternate points of view with Traynor and Sterling, and their perspectives on the same information provide different results. Writing the novel in this fashion amps up the suspense while also giving the narrative a complex and compelling flair. In addition, Davidson does an admirable job of making a complicated issue such as PTSD relatable.” — Associated Press

I hope you’ll enjoy it. Happy reading!

Last month, I rereleased my Anthony Award–winning debut novel, THE DAMAGE DONE, in print and eBook form. That was the book that introduced the intrepid Lily Moore to the world, and I’m thrilled to say that the second installment in the series, THE NEXT ONE TO FALL, is now out in the world, too. Set in Peru, this is the series book that really lets you escape to another destination. (It’s so faithful to its setting that the Peruvian tourism board gave the book out at trade shows. Fortunately, they didn’t mind me killing a tourist at Machu Picchu!)

Some of the praise THE NEXT ONE TO FALL has received since its first publication by Tor/Forge in 2012:

“Davidson’s follow-up to her Anthony Award-winning debut will leave you breathless.” — Library Journal

“Lily Moore is one of the most appealing ‘amateur’ sleuths I’ve encountered in years. The vivid sense of place — Peru, in this case — is everything one would expect from a seasoned travel journalist like Hilary Davidson, the story is deliciously twisty, the characters engaging. I know I can’t be the only reader looking forward to more Moore.” — Laura Lippman, New York Times bestselling author

“Davidson’s rendering of Machu Picchu and Cusco would merit a pisco sour toast even from the great Jan Morris.” — Kirkus Reviews

“Davidson doesn’t just tell you of her heroine’s sorrow—she gives it substance, form, and volition, taking full advantage of its presence in a way I’ve not quite seen before. It’s effective, unique, and thoroughly compelling.” — Criminal Element

The eBook is available now via Amazon, Apple Books, and Kobo.The trade paperback (ISBN 978-0989726351) will be out later this month via Ingram, which means it can be ordered by any bookstore or library. I hope you’ll join me in raising a pisco sour to Lily’s return! Stay tuned for a virtual event — and for the rerelease of the third book in the series, EVIL IN ALL ITS DISGUISES.

Psst! Here’s the cover for the new edition of THE NEXT ONE TO FALL (book #2 in the Lily Moore series, set in Peru). It will be out in paperback and as an eBook later this month!

If you haven’t picked up my latest novel yet, you can for a song today. DON’T LOOK DOWN is only $1.99! Here’s what Library Journal had to say about the book in a starred review:

“Davidson’s wildly intense murder mystery grabs the listener from the beginning and holds on to the very end… The many characters are well written and have complex back stories that enhance the tale. The age-old themes of survival, class, ambition, greed, revenge, love, and deceit all come into play.”

This is a one-day deal, so grab it while it’s hot!
