The Hook - Victoria Helen Stone

Victoria Helen Stone, smiling and looking sideways at a book covered by white paper that reads "The Hook 5/23." The corner of the paper is folded down to reveal a scarlet red.

My latest dark suspense, The Hook, hits shelves on May 23, 2023. Just last week, I saw the cover for the first time, and when I tell you I screamed with delight, I really SCREAMED WITH DELIGHT! A scarlet red cover? Yes please.

Are you ready for the deets? Or do you want to pre-order right now?!? Or do you just want to see this gorgeous artwork?

Scarlet red covers the entire cover of the book, and bold letters are cut out to reveal the image beneath. The letters read "The Hook a novel, Victoria Helen Stone bestselling author of Jane Doe and False Step." The image beneath is a close-up of white woman with scarlet lipstick leaning close to a white man's ear, as if she means to whisper."

Three betrayed women with revenge in common channel their fury in a twisting novel of psychological suspense by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of Jane Doe and False Step.

A women’s boxing class is the perfect place for betrayed wife Katherine to work out her aggressions. Ideal, too, for Geneva, a teacher disgraced and ruined by a vengeful ex, and Luz, a software engineer battling an unjust system. Maggie, their instructor and mentor, guarantees she can right the wrongs they’ve endured. And if Katherine, Geneva, and Luz really want to unleash their rage, they must do what Maggie says.

Each woman’s secret task has its risks. Call it justice. Call it revenge. It’s bound to be worth it—if no missteps are made. As they take the leap to reclaim what they’re owed, their lives are turned upside down. Because no one could have guessed that it would all end in murder.

Now, coming together to harness their power, Katherine, Geneva, and Luz fear that the game they’ve been playing is playing them.

Order now and The Hook will be in your home, ready to read on May 23!
