Blackman goes back to Noughts & Crosses

20.11.07 Caroline Horn

Malorie Blackman is to extend her Noughts & Crosses trilogy with a fourth book, Double Cross, which will be published by Random House Children’s Books in autumn 2008. The previous title in the sequence, Checkmate, was published in 2005.

Blackman said: "I always said I wouldn’t write another one unless I felt I had a really strong plot that I was enthusiastic to write. Well, with Double Cross that’s what happened, and some of the questions raised in Checkmate will finally be answered."

UK & Commonwealth rights were acquired by Annie Eaton, fiction publisher at RHCB, from Hilary Delamare at The Agency.
