​Washington Poe continues to go global! M.W. Craven’s The Puppet Show has been sold to Spring in Taiwan, and Black Summer, its follow-up to Ikar in Slovakia. The Puppet Show has now been sold in over nine territories, and Black Summer, hot on its heels with over five territories under its belt.

The cover for Death On the Rive Nord, the second in the Inspector Lucas Rocco series by Adrian Magson, was revealed last week.
 
A truck drops a group of illegal workers by a deserted stretch of canal in the dead of night near Poissons-les-Marais, desperate travellers in a pipeline, searching for a better life.
 
Days later, one of them surfaces, stabbed to death.
 
For Inspector Lucas Rocco, finding the victim’s fellow travellers presents problems. Most Algerian immigrants are welcome, but trawling for any who aren’t is a sensitive issue loaded with threats of civil unrest, something which terrifies his bosses in the Ministry. And when Rocco is ordered to stay away from one factory, where he suspects illegals are being employed, it goes against everything he knows.
 
However, his difficulties have barely begun. One of the illegals is a young woman with a small child, on the run from her brutal husband, Samir Farek, an Algerian gangster who has threatened to kill them both. But Farek has another, bigger agenda: to take over as gang lord in Paris. With a history of disposing with anyone who crosses him - a fate he is happy to mete out even to a senior policeman who gets in his way - the potential consequences are frightening.
 
Caught between his instinct to protect a vulnerable woman and her child, of obeying bosses interested only in preserving the status quo, and facing the threat of a dangerous gangster who recognises no boundaries in the murderous pursuit of his plans, Rocco begins to wonder how long he can survive.
 
The Dome Press will be publishing this superb detective novel, set in 1960s Picardie, France, on 06/09/19 (pre-order here) complete with a revised text and brand new cover. 


Congratulations to client Anna Jacobs, whose next book, A Daughter’s Journey was published last week. This is the first in her new Birch End series, and follows Australian Jo Melling as she attempts to navigate a new life in England. Buy your copy here.
 
Also published last week was Julie Caplin’s next Romantic Escapes book, The Secret Cove In Croatia. If you’re yet to go on your summer holidays, these books are the perfect accompaniment. Get your copy here.

We’re over the moon for client Rachel Trezise, whose play Cotton Fingers, won the Summerhall Lustrum Award for Excellence at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe. 

We received the very welcome news this week that Stuart Turton’s Costa-award winning debut novel The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle has sold over 200,000 copies in all formats. It’s mind-blowing to think how many people have read Evelyn’s story - and continue to do so every week, congratulations Stu!
 
While we’re on Seven Deaths, ICYMI, we thought we’d show you the cover for the Japanese edition - absolutely incredible. Getting to see the interpretations from each territory will never get old.

Finally, we’d like to take this opportunity to remind you that submissions for our next #PitchDHH opened yesterday. Following the success of our pitching events in London and York, we have decided to go on the road again, and this time we’re hitting Liverpool!
 
We will be meeting with the chosen pitchers on Saturday 7th December at a location in the city centre of Liverpool.
