Early Edition
First Novel / Bucharest / Irie Parker
Twisted Consequences
Betrayal in Bucharest is Matt Hendrick's first novel, published under the Irie Parker nom de plume. Its world is built from letters, stamps, photographs, distance, and the strange intimacy of a relationship crossing borders before email became ordinary.
Edition History
A first book shaped by distance, letters, and betrayal.
The current heart-and-eye cover frames the book as a dark emotional document: damaged paper, travel marks, betrayal, and a blue witness looking back through the wreckage.
An earlier Lulu edition also exists, carrying the rougher atmosphere of the book's first release. Together, the editions trace the path of a first novel finding its shape in public.
Irie Parker is Matt Hendrick's pen name for this branch of the publishing shelf.
