Zaffre has acquired two "magnificent" thrillers from T M Logan.
Sophie Orme, publishing director of Zaffre and Manilla Press, acquired UK and Commonwealth rights from Camilla Bolton at Darley Anderson.
Logan is the author of The Holiday, a Richard & Judy Book Club pick, which has been adapted into a TV series. Zaffre says it had sold more than one million copies of his books across four publications in four years.
The two newly contracted thrillers will publish in 2023 and 2024, while Logan’s latest novel, The Curfew, about how far a parent will go to protect their child, is due to publish on 17th March 2022.
Orme said: "I’m thrilled we have signed T M Logan, the absolute master of the up-all-night thriller, for two more brilliant books. We’ve been on an amazing journey with Tim from his debut novel Lies, the huge e-book bestseller. Since then, as well as continuing to dominate the e-book charts, he has become a Sunday Times top-10 bestseller, selling well over a million copies of his books, and we are hugely excited about the forthcoming TV adaptation of his Richard & Judy Book Club pick The Holiday.
"In March next year we publish Tim’s brilliant new thriller The Curfew, which follows a desperate father as he deals with the terrible fallout when his son fails to return home one night. This new deal will take our publications with T M Logan into 2024 and I cannot wait to see what heart-clenching twists and turns he has planned for his readers next."
Logan said: "I’ve been with Bonnier since my debut came out, back in 2017, and it really is a dream come true to work with such a talented and passionate publishing team. I’m incredibly excited about the new books and I can’t wait to launch my sixth novel, The Curfew, with Bonnier next year."
Bolton added: "We are absolutely delighted to agree two more books for T M Logan with Bonnier. It is a winning team and the phenomenal results and sales Tim’s magnificent thrillers have achieved speak far louder than I can. He is a commercial storytelling genius who hits right to the core of what readers both love and fear."
