Liberation for Michael Joseph after début deal

Michael Joseph has bought UK and Commonwealth rights to two thrillers by Gareth Rubin from Simon Trewin at WME.

In Rubin’s début, Liberation Day, a split Britain is divided by a large wall, with a democratic north led by Churchill and a Communist south presided over by Soviet spy Anthony Blunt.

Publisher Joel Richardson, who will issue the book in spring 2019, said: "Liberation Day shows London like we’ve never seen it before."
