The thriller author Nicolas Feuz has signed a publishing contract with Joël Dicker, published by Rosie&Wolfe, for a new book to be published in the fall. The collaborative project, which dates back two years, came to fruition this year.
‘Joël Dicker has decided to devote the year 2022 to the creation of his publishing house and his new novel. In 2023, the project was able to materialize. I will be the only French-speaking author published by Rosie & Wolfe editions this year,” Nicolas Feuz told Keystone-ATS on Thursday.
“I will be able to take advantage of the strike force of Joël Dicker, added the Neuchâtelois. I will be better able to export myself outside the borders and benefit from translations’.
With his latest novel ‘The Alaska Sanders Affair’, the Genevan came out on top of the most widely read French-speaking authors in 2022 in French-speaking Switzerland. In France, Joël Dicker sold around 432,000 copies of this book last year. The author has published six detective novels in ten years, translated into 40 languages. He has sold nearly 12 million books worldwide.
Nicolas Feuz notified his publisher Slatkine & Cie Paris in February of his departure. The sale of the French subsidiary of the Geneva publisher to the Trédaniel group, which specializes in esotericism, health and spirituality, also played a role in the writer’s choice to change publishing house.
From Neuchâtel to Marseille
In just a few years, Nicolas Feuz has become a must in Switzerland. Prosecutor by day, writer of thrillers by night, he is the author of sixteen novels, with more than 350,000 copies sold. He received for his book ‘Heresix’ the Prix de l’Évêché 2022, awarded by the judicial police of Marseille.
At the beginning of his career, the writer made a name for himself with intrigues that take place in the Neuchâtel region. The thriller ‘Horrora borealis’ recounts, for example, carnage at Festi’neuch and ‘Le Miroir des âmes’ evokes the Place des Halles in Neuchâtel devastated by an attack. Over the course of the novels, the framework has widened to include Occitania or French Polynesia, for example.
The detective story, which will appear in the fall, will take place in French-speaking Switzerland, in Geneva, Lausanne and Neuchâtel and in the neighboring French departments.
