Celadon Books is excited to announce the acquisition of screenwriter Andy Callahan’s NOBODY DESERVES THIS. Pitched for readers of Liz Moore and Chris Whitaker, this debut thriller set in Philadelphia’s elite Main Line suburbs follows a 21-year-old screw-up as he and his estranged father investigate the disappearances of local female athletes, including his beloved younger sister.
“Andy Callahan has put his longtime scriptwriting career to good use in his debut novel, NOBODY DESERVES THIS,” says Ryan Doherty, Vice President and Editor-in-Chief at Celadon Books. “It’s a thrilling, pacey read about the means that a brother and his estranged father must go to to find his missing sister under the threat of a serial killer. This book had me riveted from page one, and I know readers will love it.”
Doherty acquired the book in a pre-empt from Douglas Stewart at Sterling Lord Literistic.
