Exhibit A's editor Byron Quertermous has signed The City of NO by Matthew Funk, a crime novel set in New Orleans.
The deal for English language rights was done with Stacia Decker at Donald Maass Literary Agency.
The book, which will be released in March 2015, follows detective Jari Jurgis as she tries to save women from human traffickers in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Funk is a professional copywriter and editor of Needle Magazine, and former creative writing student.
Quertermous said: "I've known Matthew for a while through the broader crime fiction community so I'm excited for the opportunity to work with him on this very cool novel. I think Matthew and Angry Robot/Exhibit A are a great fit for each other."
