    NO SIGNAL (iMe book 2) The breathtaking follow-up novel to Proximity



    Can a game change the world?

     

    The Ten are chosen – they are reckless, driven and strong.

    They are tested. Ten become Four.

    In a country where everyone is tracked, how can the Four hide from the police?

     

    DI Clive Lussac hates the system that controls everything, but he's ill and it’s helping him. He must decide: conform or fight.

     

    As Clive's world unravels, he and his partners DC Ava Miller and DS Zoe Jordan can’t believe the entry price to the game.

    They strive to answer the real questions.

    Why does the ultimate Augmented Reality game have four different finishes?

    And how is a simple game wrapped up in politics, religion and the environment?



    Praise for No Signal

    ‘An immersive, entertaining high-octane thriller set in a plausible interconnected world. Well-written, thought-provoking escapism. Perfect for fans of Black Mirror & Philip K. Dick.’ Adam Hamdy



    Praise for Proximity

    The People's Book Prize Finalist 2019-2020

    ‘A vision of the future that both chills and entertains’ Jake Kerridge, Sunday Express Magazine



    ‘Tugwell brings to life his exhilarating and provocative debut crime thriller with a twist.’ The Malestrom, 4 of the Best Beach Reads: Summer 2019



    ‘An ingenious and highly plausible look at crime in a future with 100% surveillance’ Claire McGowan, Best selling author



    ‘Very topical, terrifying, perfect concept for a crime novel’ Stav Sherez, Award winning author



    ‘Darkly twisted crime novel in a future that seems to grow closer every day. Fantastically imaginative and gripping.’ Angela Clarke, Sunday Times bestselling author



    5* Review ’The writing hurtles along like a runaway train and you can barely pause for breath. What renders it original and ingenious is the background of embedded technology called ‘iMe’ (how perfect is that?!) It’s a crime thriller and it is very thrilling.' Gill Chedgey (NB Magazine)



    5* Review ‘I must admit that I finished the book with a prayer that I will never see something like iMe in my lifetime - the idea is just too terrifying’ Breakaway Reviewers



    ‘5*s from me as the storyline is brilliant…Plenty of discussion topics here for bookclubs!’ EmmabBooks



    'Proximity hits hard and cold right to the heart of what could be our future, and this knowledge makes this book one of the scariest I have ever read. I don’t care for horror. Just give me a speculative novel shaping a future so realistic I don’t even need to close my eyes to imagine it, and I’m sold. Sold and freaked out. Jem Tugwell’s outstanding description of years to close to ours to my taste left me speechless.’ Meggy Chocolate’n’Waffles



    'A brilliant book, an excellent thriller and 100% entertaining.
