Faber has signed crime-thriller author Peter Leonard up for a further three novels, following on from two titles already published by the indie company.
The first title of the trio, As the Romans Do, is set in the Italian capital, and tells the story of two American students who find themselves, after a drunken night gone-wrong, caught up with the mob and forced to try their hand at kidnapping.
Faber said it was "characterised once again by Leonard's brilliant plotting and razor-sharp dialogue". The publisher added it was "confident that [the book] will continue to build his reputation as one of the very best new voices in contemporary crime writing.
The son of crime laureate Elmore Leonard, his debut Quiver was published in October 2008 and his follow-up, Trust Me, came out last week (17th September). There are no details on the second and third titles as yet.
