I’m delighted to announce that, with the continuing success and interest in the Jessica Daniel books, I have agreed a new deal with my publishers, Pan Macmillan, that will see them release books 10 and 11 in the series.

Book seven, Behind Closed Doors, came out in January 2014 and has done really well. Sales have actually increased through books five, six and now seven, which is really rare. Book eight, Crossing The Line, is out in the UK on 11 September 2014, with books nine and 10 likely in 2015.

Away from Jessica, Pan will also be publishing my standalone crime book, Down Among The Dead Men, in 2015 – plus there are still two more books in the Silver Blackthorn trilogy to be released.

In short, there’s still plenty to come – plus the Jessica series will be relaunching as “series two”.

In addition, following the rather sad demise of AudioGo, Pan will also be creating audios of the Jessica series.

Here’s the top line of the new contract with what are, for now, provisional titles of books 10 and 11.
