Just received this picture from the publisher of Craig McDonald's forthcoming graphic novel Head Games, based on the eponymous novel that was shortlisted for the Edgar?, Antony, and other awards when it came out in 2007—ten years ago.
Head Games was the first novel featuring the character of Hector Lassiter, "one of the most compelling literary creations of recent years" (according to many readers and reviewers), a crime novelist who "writes what he lives and lives what he writes".
Ten years and ten novels later, Hector Lassiter exists in many languages and in a visual format. What a wonderful present for this 10th anniversary of the series! We now hope that the graphic novel will sparkle some interest from film people.
In the meantime, good luck to First Second Books and Hector Lassiter at the Book Expo America 2017!
