Pan Macmillan has bought three novels by Ryan David Jahn, CWA New Blood Dagger award winner and a New Writing find.
Editorial director for fiction Will Atkins acquired world rights to the titles in a six-figure deal direct from the author. Jahn's Macmillan New Writing debut, Acts of Violence, scooped this year's CWA New Blood Dagger.
Atkins called Jahn's new novel, The Dispatcher, which is not part of the new deal and will be published in July 2011, "one of the most exhilarating, original and exquisitely written thrillers I've read in years."
The first book in the new contract is set for publication in 2012.
