• Huge opportunity to re-promote this beloved house author: Incendiary —itself already a multi-award winning debut novel sold in twenty countries worldwide—deserves the same readership as Chris Cleave’s #1 New York Times bestseller Little Bee . In fact, the UK publisher has already successfully re-launched Incendiary as a bestseller in the wake of Little Bee ’s success in their market.

• A reward for fans: Book clubs played a major role in word-of-mouth sales for Little Bee and this re-packaged special edition of Incendiary —complete with a Reading Group Guide—is our thanks to them for their early and ardent support of Chris Cleave.

• Award-winning and critically acclaimed, with a unique publishing history: Written as an open letter to Osama bin Laden from a distraught woman whose husband and son were killed in a massive suicide bombing, Incendiary was published in the UK on July 7, 2005—eerily, the day of the London underground bombings. It went on to win the 2006 Somerset Maugham Award; was shortlisted for the 2006 Commonwealth Writers’ Prize; won the United States’ Book-of-the-Month Club’s First Fiction Award; and won the Prix Special du Jury at the French Prix des Lecteurs 2007.
