The cover for L. C. Tyler's next Elsie and Ethelred book, Farewell My Herring has been revealed!
Ethelred Tressider and his agent Elsie Thirkettle have been invited to lecture on a creative writing course at Fell Hall, a remote location in the heart of ragged countryside that even sheep are keen to shun. While Ethelred’s success as a writer is distinctly average, Elsie sees this as an opportunity to scout for new, hopefully more lucrative, talent. But heavy snow falls overnight, trapping those early arrivals inside, and tensions are quick to emerge between the assembled group.
When one of their number goes missing, Ethelred leads a search party and makes a gruesome discovery. With no phone signal and no hope of summoning the police, can Ethelred and Elsie identify the killer among them before one of them is next?
The book will be published by Allison & Busby in eBook in April, and paperback in November.

Ragnar Jónasson's forthcoming The Girl Who Died (Michael Joseph, April 2021) has picked up a superb review in Tap the Line:
"If you haven't still read a Ragnar Jonasson's novel, this could be the best introduction to the author's magnificent body of work and it is also recommended to the many fans of Icelandic crime fiction. Jonasson remains on the forefront of the country's most significant crime writers and he has won the readers' hearts with his splendid mystery/thrillers during the last decade."

Another superb review for one of our client's books, The Art of Death by David Fennell - this time, from the Daily Mail:
Finally, we are so excited to be able to announce the acquisition of Sean Lusk's debut novel, The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesley.
Doubleday's Eloisa Clegg pre-empted UK & Commonwealth Rights from David Headley for this mesmerising historical tale set against the backdrop of 18th century London and Constantinople.
In 1754, maker of clocks and automata Abel Cloudesley is stricken when his wife departs the world at the moment of the birth of his son, Zachary. After a fateful accident leaves Zachary nearly blinded, Abel decides that he must leave his son in the care of an eccentric aunt while he completes a precarious job in Constantinople. He is never seen again. As Zachary grows older, he is plagued by visions that reveal the hearts and minds of those around him. It is these visions that will help him complete the journey he must take – to travel across Europe to Constantinople and find out what happened to his father all those years ago.
Publication is set for summer 2022. To read the full article, click here.
