Stumped for what to give the thrill-seeking bookworm in your family for Christmas? As of Tuesday 8 December, a brand-new audiobook available on Amazon’s Audible app may be just the gift idea you need.

Described by award-winning producer Alan Moloney as a ‘tautly written, entertaining thriller that will keep the reader turning the pages right till the very end’ and ‘sitting somewhere between The Da Vinci Code and Indiana Jones’, Fall Out is the thrilling debut novel by Malta-based author M N Grenside. And, just in time for Christmas, it’s now being released as an audiobook.

In the story, an LA screenwriter is killed shortly after sending his latest script to a specific group of people – all connected to a movie that abruptly stopped shooting years before and echoes sinister events from the past. Producer Marcus Riley sets out on an increasingly dangerous quest to get the film made, and, alongside designer Melinda (Mako) de Turris and other recipients of the screenplay, unravels a lethal puzzle, pursued by an assassin from the past.

“I’m delighted that Fall Out is being released as an audiobook,” says Mr Grenside. “I love the idea that readers can now experience this mile-a-minute adventure in an all-new way, narrated so brilliantly by William Tulin.”

M N Grenside’s fast-paced page-turner is based on a true scandal of a multi-billion-dollar theft and murder – and he’s used his own unique inside knowledge of the film industry to craft and meticulously research it.

Now living in Malta, M N (Mark) Grenside’s illustrious media career began when he worked for Jim Henson and The Muppets©, after which he produced several movies, television series and mini-series across the entertainment industry. His music management company launched major artist Neneh Cherry, while he arranged the $250 million buy-out of the Hallmark Channel International by NBC. More recently, he has become a serial entrepreneur and is currently penning the follow-up novel to Fall Out, titled The Bastion.

Fall Out by M N Grenside will be available from 8 December as an unabridged audiobook via Audible at your nearest Amazon store by visiting  http://mybook.to/falloutaudiobook. The audiobook is narrated by William Tulin and published by OrangeSky Audio. Fall Out Paperback and ebook editions are published by Urbane Publications Ltd, UK; and it is distributed in Malta and Gozo by Miller Distributors Ltd.
