DHH News Roundup 23rd - 29th Sept 2019

9/30/2019

1 Comment

 
​We are back after an exhausting but entirely thrilling weekend of being at the inaugural Capital Crime Festival, held in Covent Garden. We had a bunch of authors appearing on panels and hosting talks, signing books and taking part in meet ‘n greets with fans - alongside legends such as Martina Cole, Lynda La Plante and Mark Billingham - and we had a blast!

We partnered with Capital Crime to host the New Voices Award, an award given to an undiscovered crime and thriller author to help further their publishing career. At Thursday’s launch event, it was announced that Ashley Harrison (who had flown over for the US just for this weekend!) had won for his novel Dysconnect. David Headley was so taken with the book that Ashley is now a part of the DHH Literary Agency - welcome, Ashley!

Also taking home an award this weekend was Stuart Turton for the audiobook of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. The award is a part of the Capital Crime / Amazon Publishing Awards and we are delighted for both Stuart and the audiobook’s narrator, Jot Davies.

​Snow Kills by R.C. Bridgestock, has garnered a favourable review in NB magazine. “Snow Kills is intriguing and down to earth… ample indication that there is plenty of mileage in the Jack Dylan series.” To read the whole review, click here.

​The Daily Mail has reviewed L.C. Tyler’s The Maltese Herring, the eighth in the Elsie & Ethelred series: “The story whips along at a fair pace, pausing only for out-loud laughs. For those inclined to humour, it is a delight.” To read the whole review, click here.


Joanna Toye’s Wartime For the Shop Girls, the second Marlow’s Department book, is out in eBook this Thursday (3rd October) and you can pre-order here.

It has also been announced that the third book in the series will be called Heartache for the Shop Girls. This uplifting tale will be published in 2020.

​The cover for Eva Björg Ægisdóttir’s debut novel The Creak On the Stairs has been revealed and we are filled with anticipation for this fantastic, dark, Scandi-Noir novel to hit shelves in May 2020.
 
When a body of a woman is discovered at a lighthouse in the Icelandic town of Akranes, it soon becomes clear that she’s no stranger to the area. 

Chief Investigating Officer Elma, who has returned to Akranes following a failed relationship, and her colleagues Sævar and Hörður, commence an uneasy investigation, which uncovers a shocking secret in the dead woman’s past that continues to reverberate in the present day … 

But as Elma and her team make a series of discoveries, they bring to light a host of long-hidden crimes that shake the entire community. Sifting through the rubble of the townspeople’s shattered memories, they have to dodge increasingly serious threats, and find justice … before it’s too late. 

An exquisitely written, disturbing, claustrophobic and chillingly atmospheric thriller, The Creak on the Stairs is the first in an electrifying series, by one of Iceland’s most exciting new talents.

 
This title will be available for pre-order soon.


​Finally, HUGE congratulations to M.W. Craven who has had Japanese rights for both books in the Washington Poe series, The Puppet Show and Black Summer sold to Hayakawa in Japan, for a considerable five-figure sum. That’s fifteen territories for The Puppet Show and six for Black Summer - and counting!
