We're kicking off this week's DHH News Roundup, with a lovely review for Marina Palmer's The Russian Doll, that appeared in the Financial Times last week:

"The Russian Doll is a sharply observed take on the Faustian pact - and contemporary London."


Congratulations to client Mike Hollow, whose next book in his Blitz Detective series, The Camden Murder, has sold to Allison & Busby, in a World English Language rights deal, negotiated by Broo Doherty.

The book follows The Blitz Detective, The Canning Town Murder, The Custom House Murder, The Stratford Murder, The Dockland Murder and The Pimlico Murder.

The cover for David Fennell's second Grace Archer book, See No Evil ​(April 2022, Bonnier Books), has been revealed. The first, The Art of Death was published in 2021 and went straight into the Sunday Times top 20.

For this killer, it's death at first sight...

Two men are found dead in London's Battersea Park. One of the bodies has been laid out like a crucifix - with his eyes removed and placed on his open palms.

Detective Inspector Grace Archer and her caustic DS, Harry Quinn, lead the investigation. But when more bodies turn up in a similar fashion, they find themselves in a race against time to find the sadistic killer.

The hunt leads them to Ladywell Playtower in Southeast London, the home to a religious commune lead by the enigmatic Aaron Cronin. Archer and Quinn suspect Cronin's involvement but his alibis are watertight, and the truth seemingly buried. If Archer is to find the killer, she must first battle her way through religious fanatics, London gangsters - and her own demons...

The Berlin Girl author, Mandy Robotham, has written a piece for the Shetland Times, about the true story that has inspired her next book, The Resistance Girl (March 2022, HarperCollins). Allow Mandy to tell you a bit about it:

Eve Smith's recent release, Off Target, was selected by Prima magazine as one of their Books of the Month for February (out in paperback on 17th April, Orenda Books). 

When a one-night stand leads to a long-desired pregnancy, Susan will do anything to ensure her husband won't find out ... including the unthinkable. But when something horrendous is unleashed around the globe, her secret isn't the only thing that is no longer safe...


Another cover reveal for you now, and this time for the debut novel by police procedural and crime advisor, and former Chief Superintendent, Graham Bartlett. Bad For Good will be released by Allison & Busby in June 2022. Graham is also the author of bestselling non-fiction, Death Comes Knocking: Policing Roy Grace's Brighton (PanMac, 2016) and Babes in the Wood (PanMac, 2020).

How far would you go?

The murder of a promising footballer and, crucially, the son of the Brighton's Chief Superintendent, means Detective Superintendent Jo Howe has a complicated and sensitive case on her hands. The situation becomes yet more desperate following devastating blackmail threats.
​
Howe can trust no one as she tracks the brutal killer in a city balanced on a knife edge of vigilante action and a police force riven with corruption.

And finally, congratulations to clients Phillipa Ashley and Anita Frank, who have both been shortlisted for their books at the RNA Awards 2022.

Ashley's An Endless Cornish Summer (Avon) is in The Contemporary Romantic Novel Award, while Frank's The Return (HQ) sits in The Historical Romantic Novel Award. 

​The awards celebrate excellence in romantic fiction in all its forms, and winners of the awards will be announced during the Romantic Novelists’ Association’s Romantic Novel Awards ceremony, which is being held at the Leonardo Royal Hotel London City, 8-14 Cooper’s Row, London EC3N 2BQ, on Monday 7th March 2022 at 6.30pm.
