Orion acquires digital rights to Household's backlist

08.12.11 | Charlotte Williams

Orion has acquired digital publishing rights to the entire backlist of thriller writer Geoffrey Household, with a selection of the titles, including A Time to Kill, also to be published as Phoenix paperbacks.

Deputy publisher Malcolm Edwards bought UK and Commonwealth rights from Bill Hamilton at A M Heath, acquiring 33 books in total. Orion is in the process of finalising which titles will be reissued in paperback.

Paperback publishing director Juliet Ewers said: "I am delighted we've secured the entire Geoffrey Household collection. He's up there with Buchan and le Carré and, as many readers are only aware of his classic novel Rogue Male, I'm very much looking forward to bringing his work to a new audience."

Household was a British novelist who served in British Intelligence during the Second World War. Orion already publishes Rogue Male as a Phoenix paperback, priced £7.99.
