Quercus has acquired the follow-up to Stef Penney's 2006 Costa Award-winning novel The Tenderness of Wolves. The publisher bought world rights to The Invisible Ones from Diana Tyler at MBA for an undisclosed sum. Quercus published Penney's debut novel, which went on to become a surprise hit for the publisher during its early years.
Set in the 1980s England, Quercus described the novel as "a darkly compelling mystery about the disappearance of a young woman from a gypsy family".
Penny’s first novel, The Tenderness of Wolves, was an international bestseller, which won a number of awards, including the Costa and the Theakston’s Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award. Foreign rights were sold in 34 countries.
Quercus will publish The Invisible Ones in September 2011.
