Headline scoops two new crime novels by Ann Granger
Headline, a division of Hachette UK, has scooped two new crime novels by Ann Granger. World English-language volume rights for Death on the Prowl were acquired by fiction editor Clare Foss from Isobel Dixon of Blake Friedmann.
The new book is the eighth Cotswold village mystery featuring detective duo Campbell and Carter and the second novel will be in Ann’s Victorian crime series, featuring Scotland Yard’s Inspector Ben Ross and his wife Lizzie.
Foss said: "We are delighted to continue our long and happy association with one of our best-loved crime writers. As well as seeing both these series flourish, we are delighted to be releasing the e-books of Ann’s ever-popular Mitchell and Markby series, and Fran Varady, series for the first time in the US, with exciting brand-new covers designed to appeal to the digital market."
Granger is one of Headline’s longest-standing crime writers and her novels and work have been published in 10 languages.

Dixon said: "As we head towards Ann’s 35th year being published by Headline, we have a new two-book deal. She is a marvel and a joy to work with, and I know her fans will be as delighted as we are that there are more books to come – and now American readers can also catch up with her other beloved characters – Fran Varady, and Mitchell and Markby."
Granger said: "I am very fortunate to have been a client of a first-class agency in Blake Friedmann for so many years, and I’m delighted that my long and happy association with Headline will continue."
