Wouter van Noort is 58% done with He's to Die For

Jack's life is a lot, even without the homicidal stalker. Tabloids. Fans. The ghost of Tommy Esposito. He's a walking land mine, and the closer Rav gets, the worse the fallout will be. Is that what he's really afraid of?

She's curled up on the leather armchair, tiny feet tucked up beneath her, licking her spoon. Rav, meanwhile, is stretched out on the sofa like he's seeing his therapist. Which he kind of is.

God, he would love to nail this guy before the FBI does.
And if that were to earn him some points with a certain someone, well....that would be a definite bonus.

Rav dreads the prospect of going into the office on Monday. Water cooler chitchat makes him want to hang himself at the best of times. How was your weekend? Oh, you know. Angry mobs, death threats. Made out with a rock star. You?

One thing's for sure: that conversation wouldn't have been possible if he were still on the case. He's going to have to send the FBI a goddamned fruit basket. He snorts a laugh into his wineglass, downs the last sip, and goes to bed.

He's not starstruck. Well. Maybe a little. He's acutely aware that something special is happening here, and he tries to silence his whirring brain for once, to be present in the moment and just appreciate it.

He turns in early, vowing to redouble his efforts tomorrow.
Eyes on the prize, he reminds himself. He has a murderer to catch, and that's all that matters.

Bloody hell, Trivedi. He tosses his phone onto the sofa, piling cushions on top of it for good measure. He will not let this suspect mess with his head.

He has a hard time imagining her with any sort of hobby. Hobbies require a personality, and Howard doesn't have one of those. She's like a female Captain Holt from Brooklyn Nine-Nine, minus the sparkling sense of humor.

Rav is perched on the edge of his partner's desk, tossing an apple from hand to hand. It's not his apple. He avoids fruit wherever possible.

Wouter van Noort is 78% done with The Wild Silence

I lifted Moth's rucksack as he put his arm through the strap, took a photograph of the starting post and a deep breath of hope.
There was no going back now. We left the river behind and headed into the sulphurous heart of the southern highlands of Iceland.

The South West Coast Path had led us out of anguish and despair to a place of hope and possibility. And now, by walking it again on paper, The Salt Path had led us home.

I felt Moth's hand in mine, the scent of blackberries in the air and the overwhelming sense that this moment is the only one we have, the only one we need.

I shook the ink cartridge and put it back in the printer. Maybe there was enough ink. Taking a deep breath, I pressed print.
An hour later a manuscript lay on the table in front of me.

I opened the book again at the very start of the path. Minehead.
The faded pencil notes in the margin were barely legible after the rain damage. 'Day 1 - if the rest of the path is like this we don't stand a chance.'

Why had those words come out of my mouth? I'd carelessly spoken the words of a barely formulated thought. I'm thinking of writing: how could I have said those words out loud?

I finally knew what had driven me to suggest that we should walk across cliffs and beaches, through woods and valleys, sleeping wild, living wild. It was the land, the earth, the deep humming background to my very being. It was the land.

And yet as we walked along that incredible strip of wilderness, forgetting the existence of the normal world that lay to one side of the path, with our eyes always drawn to the endless horizon of the sea on the other, exhausted and starving, something had changed.

The South West Coast Path: From Minehead to South Haven Point, Paddy Dillon's beautiful guidebook to the 630-mile path. The book that had guided us. The friend in our pocket as we decided not to give in to the chaos of homelessness, but to put our rucksacks on our backs and walk the whole length of the path Paddy describes.

I should have been in bed, sleeping like the rest of the country, not on an ice-cold rock on a cliff top before the dawn of New Year's Day.

I say something
it sounds like words
it's not what they want to hear

I have trouble sleeping in the twisted trees because there are so many hikers who go by and talk loud all day.

I want to thank my people but I know if they see me it'll fuck up our relationship.

Wouter van Noort is 88% done with The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon

She opened her eyes as wide as she could and looked without looking. Five seconds went by, fifteen seconds, thirty. And all at once it was there. She knew what it was: the last remains of a path.

The thing in the woods, whatever it was, kept her company on her journey. Although she dismissed a great deal of what she felt and thought she saw to mere hallucination.

"I'm going to die in the woods." Not a question this time. Her face twisted into an expression of sorrow, but there were no tears.

"McFarland winds, McFarland pitches," she said tiredly, and started off again. She was no longer thinking about berries; all she wanted now was to get out of here in one piece.

Trisha did not cry, not then. At that moment she was too scared to cry. Something watching her. Something. "Hello?" she tried again.

She cried harder than she had since first realizing for sure that she was lost, but this time she cried in relief. She was lost but would be found. She was sure of it. Tom Gordon had gotten the save and so would she.
