Tom Watson, the former deputy leader of the Labour Party, is making his fiction debut with a political thriller for Little, Brown with The House, co-written with DHH client Imogen Robertson.
Sphere Fiction publishing director Ed Wood, who signed the deal for world rights with Rory Scarfe of The Blair Partnership for Watson’s début novel, said it would be "the political thriller of a generation".
"Tom Watson is one of the most significant, influential and deep-thinking politicians in this country," commented Wood. "His insights into the workings of politicians’ minds and Parliament are eye-opening, dramatic and sometimes almost unbelievable, and his and Imogen’s story is one that will hold an iron grip on readers and undoubtedly generate headlines. This will be the political thriller of a generation."
The House will publish in autumn 2020.
