Constable & Robinson has signed a five-figure deal to acquire a new detective novel written under the pen name A D Garrett.
The book, jointly authored by thriller writer Margaret Murphy and forensic expert Professor Dave Barclay, was signed by C&R’s James Gurbutt through agent Felicity Blunt at Curtis Brown, with Katie McGowan at Curtis Brown handling the translation rights.
The publisher has British Commonwealth rights to the book excluding Canada. Blunt said: "The combined talents of Professor Barclay and Margaret Murphy merge to create a truly twisted crime novel, with brilliant but flawed forensic scientist Nick Fenimore at its centre." The publication date is to be confirmed.
