We are delighted to be kicking off this week's News Roundup with the wonderful news that Anita Frank, author of The Lost Ones and The Return, has signed a new two-book deal with current publishers, HQ. 

Kate Mills, Publisher at HQ, bought World English Language rights from David Headley and the first in the contract (title TBC) is due to be published in 2023.

We had two gorgeous cover reveals this week. 

The first was for the follow-up to Adam Simcox's 2021 debut, The Dying Squad: The Generation Killer (August 2022, Gollancz).

​On the sixth day, God created MANchester. On the seventh, The Generation Killer intends to tear it down.

There's a new serial killer in Manchester - and it's up to a dead guy to catch him. Joe Lazarus, specifically: his latest Dying Squad assignment demands he bring to justice The Generation Killer, a psychopath who murders the oldest member of a family, as well as the youngest. Joe and his new partner Bits have mere hours to catch the killer and save his latest kidnap victim.

Joe's former partner, Daisy-May has her own problems. Children in the Pen are going missing and Daisy-May resolves to find out who's taking them, one of the many, Warden-of-the-Pen jobs on her to do list. Her predecessor The Duchess won't be able to lighten her load; she's tracked her terrorist-in-waiting sister, Hanna, to Tokyo. The Duchess doesn't know what Hanna's planning, she only knows that unless she stops her, it's going to be very bad news for the living...

Also revealed, was the UK cover for Adam Hamdy's forthcoming standalone, The Other Side of Night (September 2022, Pan Macmillan), a crime novel quite unlike any other:

What would you give for one more moment with someone you love?

David Asha wants to tell you a story about three people:

Elliott Asha, his son, broken by a loss that will redeem him.
Ben Elmys, a surrogate father and David’s trusted friend, a man who might also be a murderer.
Harriet Kealty, a detective determined to find the truth behind three mysterious deaths, investigating a man who might be the love of her life.

Every word David tells you is true, but you will think it fiction . . .

The forthcoming debut historical mystery from Victoria Hawthorne (also known as psychological suspense author, Vikki Patis), The House at Helygen, has received a fantastic pre-publication quote from Madame author, Phoebe Wynn:

"A thrilling read, led by dynamic women that call out through the centuries."

The book will be released on 14th April, from Quercus.
