Hodder has bought three new crime novels and a collection of short stories from South African writer, Deon Meyer.
Nick Sayers acquired British and Commonwealth rights excluding Canada from Isobel Dixon at Blake Friedmann.
Sayers said: "Deon is already a bestseller in many countries, including his own, of course, and his nomination for the 2010 CWA International Dagger simply confirms what we already knew – that he is one of the finest crime thriller writers in the world.
"With these new books, we will bring him to a much wider readership again."
Hodder published Meyer's most recent novel, Thirteen Hours, in April.
