"[A] thrilling dystopian novel." —TIME

This is Prophet. It knows when you were happiest. It gives life to your fondest memories and uses them to destroy you...


Adam Rubinstein and Sunil Rao have been nemeses and reluctant partners since their Uzbekistan days. Adam is a seemingly unflappable American Intelligence officer; Rao is ex-MI6, an addict and rudderless pleasure-hound with an uncanny ability to discern the truth about anything and anyone—except Adam.

Adam and Rao have gone their separate ways until they are called back together when a full-sized 1950s American diner shows up in an English farmer's field and a mysterious death ensues. What follows is a reality-twisting, action-filled quest to uncover how and why people’s fondest memories are manifesting in increasingly bizarre and tangible forms and attacking them. Adam and Rao must find a way to stop these malevolent entities—and the spooky substance called Prophet that is behind them—from taking over a world that is just one perilous step from our own.

A tour-de-force of storytelling that brilliantly blends sci-fi, detective noir, action, and slow-burn queer romance, from the New York Times–bestselling author of H is for Hawk, Helen Macdonald, and the stunning new voice of Sin Blaché.
