The Mortons

My next book will be THE MORTONS.

Cowritten with Justine Larbalestier, it comes out July 21, 2026.

You can pre-order it NOW in the USA, the UK, and Australia.

In this family, murder is currency. Business is booming.

THE MORTONS is an epic novel of alliances and power, loyalty and kinship, and the consequences of ruthless ambition.

The Mortons are a modern-day, old-money dynasty with impeccable taste.
