Joffe Books scoops new Hillary Greene mystery from Faith Martin

Joffe Books has scooped a "gripping" new Hillary Greene mystery from Faith Martin. 

Publishing director Kate Lyall Grant acquired world English rights from Kate Nash at Kate Nash Literary Agency. The next instalment in the DI Hillary Green series will be published in e-book and paperback in early summer 2024. 

Joffe Books has been reissuing updated editions of Martin’s mystery series which, according to the publisher, have sold two million copies.

Martin said: “I hope my readers will be pleased to hear that after working so hard and for so long, former DI Hillary Greene has finally been persuaded to take a summer holiday! Naturally, she doesn’t exactly have a relaxing time of it, as things take a murderous turn. Away from her home turf and with none of her usual team and colleagues around her, this investigation is one of her hardest – in more ways than one! I’m delighted that Joffe Books are keen to publish another of her cases and bring Hillary and her readers together once again – a job they do so well.”

Lyall Grant added: “This latest Hillary Greene mystery is something a little bit different, as it takes place in the beautiful Welsh town of Hay-on-Wye. Faith has devised a classic locked-room scenario which will leave even seasoned mystery readers baffled. Hillary’s fans are in for a real treat.”
