At Dolphin Books, we believe every great story starts with a crazy idea.

Our friend @ScottFinchBooks has two projects competing for his attention:

• Operative 13 Book Two

• A slushie-drinking, hellhound-owning monster hunter

Comment below which you'd rather read.

The best spy stories are not about missions.
They are about the cost of completing them.

[Dolphin Books @DolphinFiction]

“Alex Grey took pride in his work.
Nine years of crafting illusions, and this one was gallery-grade.”

Which creates more suspense in fiction:

a secret the reader knows, or a secret the reader discovers with the character?

[Dolphin Books @DolphinFiction]

The books that stay with us are the ones where the stakes are personal before they are global.

[Dolphin Books @DolphinFiction]

The most unsettling technology is the kind that almost exists.

[Dolphin Books @DolphinFiction]

Suspense begins the moment the reader understands the danger.

[Dolphin Books @DolphinFiction]

Stories should respect the reader’s intelligence.
Everything else follows from that.

[Dolphin Books @DolphinFiction]

The next OPERATIVE 13 Story.

[Dolphin Books @DolphinFiction]

Some stories are written to entertain.
Some are written to last.

We publish the second kind.

@Peyton_455 Thank you — we appreciate that.

What stood out was a thriller protagonist who isn’t tormented or chasing redemption. He knows exactly what he is, and he’s comfortable with it.

That clarity — and the willingness to commit to it — made it worth publishing.

#BookLaunch

[Dolphin Books @DolphinFiction]

This one isn’t for everyone.

If you’re tired of safe stories and disposable thrillers —

OPERATIVE 13.
March 1.

[Dolphin Books @DolphinFiction]

We didn’t launch Dolphin Books to release everything.

We launched it to release one thing without compromise.

OPERATIVE 13

[Dolphin Books @DolphinFiction]

One book.
One press.
Zero compromises.

See you March 1.

#LitThriller

[Dolphin Books @DolphinFiction]

From a quiet corner of London, we publish what earns its place.

Dolphin Books.

[Dolphin Books @DolphinFiction]

Quiet since 2022.
Because the right book matters more than the next book.

Standards first.

[Dolphin Books @DolphinFiction]

March 1. A soft sci-fi espionage tale that slips between shadows and code. Exactly why we chose it.

OPERATIVE 13
