Sequel Follows Gowdy's New York Times Bestselling Fiction Debut 'The Color of Death'

NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- FOX News Books will release "The Sound of Regret," the sequel to Trey Gowdy and Christopher Greyson's bestselling novel "The Color of Death" on Tuesday, August 25th. The novel marks the FOX News Media imprint's 20th title as it surpasses 3.7 million books sold since launching in 2020.

In commenting on the book, Gowdy said, "Writing a sequel to 'The Color of Death' felt like a natural next step because Colm's story still had important gaps to fill. In this follow-up novel, readers gain a deeper understanding of the pressures, obstacles and emotional challenges prosecutors face every day as they advocate for victims and pursue justice in even the most difficult cases."

Gowdy and Greyson explore Colm Truesdale's next murder mystery as he dives deep into a new investigation that brings dangerous threats and ghosts from his past. The investigation leads him to suspect a connection between a psychopath who has spent years trying to destroy him, the murder of a confidential informant and the execution of the case's only witness. With his career, freedom and life hanging in the balance, Colm must outsmart a mind as ruthless as his own.

Gowdy is a former state and federal prosecutor who handled thousands of criminal cases and took nearly one hundred cases to jury verdict. He prosecuted scores of murder cases, including seven death penalty trials. He served in Congress for eight years, chairing two committees and leaving in 2019 to return to South Carolina. Currently, he hosts the weekend primetime show Sunday Night in America on FOX News Channel and The Trey Gowdy Podcast on FOX News Audio. A New York Times bestselling author, he has written four nonfiction books on subjects ranging from decision-making to friendship, in addition to his first novel, "The Color of Death".

Greyson is an award-winning, bestselling author of mystery, action and thriller novels. Recognized as one of the top 100 Kindle authors of all time, his acclaimed works have sold over 3.5 million e-books, print copies, and audiobooks. An accomplished speaker, actor and prolific storyteller, he has written more than twenty novels, from pulse-pounding thrillers to mysteries.
