It has been announced that client Ragnar Jónasson will pen a crime thriller, Reykjavik, alongside Icelandic Prime Minister, Katrin Jakobsdóttir, centred around the Reagan and Gorbachev summit in 1986. 

​The book will be published in Iceland in October this year.

The soon-to-be-released, The Darlings of the Asylum, from Noel O'Reilly, has received a gorgeous endorsement from fellow gothic author, Essie Fox:

"O'Reilly's skill as a writer in creating his central character is to convince his readers that this is a one kind story, before dragging the carpet from under their feet as shocking secrets are revealed ... This novel will lure your imagination into the darkest realms of torment, before the door finally closes on the breath-taking denouement."

​The book is set to be published by HQ in December later this year.

The cover for Force of Hate​ (February 2023, Allison & Busby), the second in Graham Bartlett's CS Jo Howe series has been revealed:
Picture
When a night-time firebomb attack at a Brighton travellers' site kills women and children, Chief Superintendent Jo Howe has strong reason to believe the new, dubiously elected, neo-nazi council leader is behind the murders. Against the direct orders of her chief constable, Jo digs deep into the killings secretly briefing the senior investigating officer of her suspicions.
​
As she delves further, Jo uncovers an underworld of human trafficking, slavery and euthanasia all leading to a devastating plot which threatens thousands of lives and from which the murderous politician looks sure to walk scott-free. Having narrowly survived a plot to kill her, where another was not so lucky, she realises that only by facing near-certain death once more can she thwart this terrorist outrage.

Congratulations to Adam Hamdy, who last week saw the publication of his highly-anticipated new novel, The Other Side of Night​ (Pan Macmillan).

Also published last week was Rachael Featherstone's Puzzle Girl (Canelo), a gloriously uplifting read about finding love in the most unique of places: a crossword magazine.

Also revealed this week, was the cover for the newly-reissued, The Judas Tree (November 2022, HQ), by Amanda Jennings (originally published as The Judas Scar in 2014), a devastating thriller set in a Cornish boarding school.
Picture
At a bleak boys’ boarding school in Cornwall in the eighties when bullying is rife, Will and his best friend, Luke, are involved in a horrific incident that results in Luke leaving.

Twenty-five years later their paths cross again and memories of a painful childhood come flooding back to haunt them both.
​

Will’s wife, Harmony, is struggling after a miscarriage that has hit her hard, and wishes Will would open up about what happened. But as Will withdraws further, she finds herself drawn to the charismatic stranger from her husband’s past, Luke, and soon all three are caught in a tangled web of guilt and desire...

From Amanda Jennings, author of The Cliff House, comes a haunting thriller about betrayal and revenge.

We are delighted to be welcoming esteemed author, A. A. Dhand, to the Agency.

​Dhand, who is the author of the Harry Virdee series, set in Bradford, joins David Headley's list. 

Finally, the news was finally announced last week, that client Ronnie Turner has struck a two-book deal with Orenda Books. 

Orenda bought World English Language rights from Emily Glenister and the first in the deal, So Pretty, an haunting and contemporary gothic thriller, will be published in January 2023.
