The book's highest chart position was number 17 in The Bookseller UK mass market fiction chart.[12] Stasi Wolf followed in February 2017, again a Daily Telegraph Pick of the Week,[13] then A Darker State in 2018. The novels are being developed for television by Euston Films.[14] The series has been sold in eleven territories around the world.[15]BibliographyNovels
