Anne Frasier, author of The Body Reader, Wins Thriller Award for Best Paperback Original Novel

Anne Frasier's thriller, The Body Reader, was named the winner of the International Thriller Writers' 2017 Thriller Award for Best Paperback Original Novel. Anne Frasier's The Body Reader was published last summer by Thomas & Mercer, the mystery, thriller and true crime imprint of Amazon Publishing.

The Thriller Awards honor the best in thriller fiction in six categories. Anne Frasier, a Daphne du Maurier Award and RITA Award winner, is a first-time nominee for the award.

"I want to thank Amazon Publishing and the entire Thomas and Mercer team. Anyone who has worked with them knows how wonderful they are," said Frasier. "I also want to thank my editor, Jessica Tribble, and author relations manager, Sarah Shaw. And a big thank you to International Thriller Writers."

In The Body Reader, no one knows madmen like Detective Jude Fontaine. Held in an underground cell for three years, her only contact was with her sadistic captor, and reading his face was her entire existence. Learning his every line, every movement, and every flicker of thought is what kept her alive. After her experience with isolation and torture, she is left with a fierce desire for justice--and a heightened ability to interpret the body language of both the living and the dead.

"From our first reading of The Body Reader, we knew it was something special," said Mikyla Bruder, Publisher of Amazon Publishing. "We're thrilled to see Anne recognized with this richly deserved honor." Frasier is edited by Thomas & Mercer Editor Jessica Tribble.

2017 Thriller Award for Best Paperback Original Novel nominees include Robert Dugoni for In the Clearing; Paul Kemprecos for The Minoan; Jonathan Maberry for Kill Switch; and Stephen Maher for Salvage.

Book two, Body Count, in Frasier's June Fontaine Series will publish in June 2018, and will be available on Amazon.com and in bookstores. Thomas & Mercer also publishes Frasier's Elise Sandburg Series. Book four in the series, Truly Dead, published in May 2017.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
