Here’s something for you: a look at the paperback edition of Into the Black Nowhere. It will be published June 25 in the US and Canada.
If you have any questions about how/when/where/how often to pick up copies, here’s advice from Stephen King:
“Meg Gardiner. INTO THE BLACK NOWHERE. Excellent. You know the drill, bookstore near you. Buy now, thank me later.”
Enjoy!
At BookExpo America last week, my publisher, Blackstone, announced my upcoming novel in exciting fashion. That’s me, standing next to a banner at the entrance to the convention, at the Javits Center in New York City.
The Dark Corners of the Night is the third novel in the UNSUB series, featuring FBI agent Caitlin Hendrix. It will be published in early 2020. I’ll have plenty more to tell you about it in the coming months. For now, know that I’m thrilled you’ll be reading it next winter.

Earlier this week, I posted this photo on Twitter, with the caption: “Today’s writing tools.”
Novelist and screenwriter Howard Michael Gould responded with a question. Are pen and paper “outside your usual MO?”
Here’s how I answered him, for anybody out there who’s interested in my writing process.
Maybe it’s quirky, but it works for me.
What a fantastic night in New York City. Mystery Writers of America celebrated the 73rd Edgar Awards with a gala at the Grand Hyatt. And, as 2019 MWA President, I was privileged to emcee the ceremony.
Congratulations to everyone who was nominated, and especially to this year’s winners. The entire list is here.
It was great to see so many friends and writers I idolize, including MWA’s outgoing president, Jeffery Deaver, who presented the Raven Award to the New York Times crime fiction critic, Marilyn Stasio (and introduced me with a Jeopardy!-style quiz, in the form of questions).
Now to put my feet up. And read a whole bunch of amazing books.
This is a big week for the mystery writing world, and for me in particular. As this year’s president of Mystery Writers of America, I’ll be emceeing the Edgar Awards in New York City. Ahead of that, I’ll be moderating a panel at the annual Edgar Symposium.

It should be exciting. Wish me luck!
I had a great time on Saturday interviewing Harlan Coben at Murder by the Book in Houston. Despite Harlan having one flight canceled and a second delayed by severe weather across the region, readers waited, packing the bookstore, until he arrived. Harlan didn’t even have time to catch his breath before we launched into a discussion of his new novel, Run Away. But he’s a pro, and a champ, and a great person, and the evening was fantastic.
My kind of Saturday night.
Out now
