HABIT a thriller by T.J. Brearton (Lake Placid, NY) published by Joffe Books (Shoreditch, London)
PRESS RELEASE
Joffe Books is delighted to announce the publication of this outstanding detective thriller.
“HABIT by T.J. Brearton is a pacey thriller set in upstate New York. It's one of the first books that I chose to publish with my London-based company, as I found it absolutely compelling, with a flawed and complex protagonist. The tension doesn't let up for a minute. And working with Mr. Brearton, who lives in the Adirondacks, has been fun, even though it's rather a long distance publishing relationship!” Jasper Joffe

Detective Brendan Healy, trying to put a tragic past behind him, pursues a dangerous investigation that will risk both his life and his sanity.

JOFFE BOOKS
An independent publishing company based in the creative hub of Shoreditch, London, close to the digital and artistic communities that inspire it. Jasper Joffe, a contemporary artist, well-known for projects such as The Free Art Fair and The Sale of a Lifetime, decided to found a digital-only publishing company to release outstanding fiction and make the most of the new opportunities which are transforming the world of books.
“The age of Kindle means that I can bring great fiction out fast and with everything from cover, to blurb, to marketing done in-house. I’ve applied some of the knowledge I gained as a successful artist to the publishing world. It’s a really exciting moment to be doing this, because for the first time in history, a writer can send me a book and within a month, if everything goes well, be selling their book and having thousands of people all over the world reading it!” Jasper Joffe
