The November 2020 Edition of The Big Thrill

Winter is coming—and so are the thrills. And we don’t just mean ITW’s upcoming Winter Thrills virtual event in January. This issue of The Big Thrill takes you behind the scenes to some of the genre’s hottest new releases, guaranteed to keep you entertained as you cozy up in anticipation of the cooler holiday season. Adam Meyer goes Between the Lines with the brilliant John Connolly to talk about his latest Charlie Parker novel, K.L. Romo reviews a spine-tingling new anthology edited by Jeffery Deaver, and J.H. Bográn talks to Boyd Morrison about closing the book on his Clive Cussler thrillers. Plus we get up close and personal with Lee and Andrew Child, Anthony Horowitz, Joe Clifford, Nicci French, E.M. Powell and dozens more. The November issue is live—and you can read it now!
