Storm Publishing is delighted to announce the acquisition of World All Language rights to three new books in the Detective Corstorphine Scottish crime series from bestselling author Andrew James Greig.
Deputy Managing Director Claire Bord has secured the deal with Greig, whose previous work includes the popular PI Teàrlach Paterson series. This new agreement follows the success of Greig’s The Girl in the Loch which reached the top of the Amazon bestseller charts, with its audio edition breaking into the top ten on Audible.
The Detective Corstorphine series, which began with The Bone Clock (previously published as Whirligig) and continued with The Devil’s Cut, has captivated readers with its atmospheric Highland setting, intricate plotting, and complex characters. The series features Detective Inspector James Corstorphine as he navigates dark mysteries in the Scottish Highlands.
Claire Bord said:
“Andrew’s distinctive voice and talent for crafting compelling crime fiction continues to impress us. The Detective Corstorphine series has resonated deeply with readers who appreciate intelligent, atmospheric thrillers. We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Andrew and bring more of his exceptional storytelling to his growing audience.”
Andrew James Greig commented:
“I’m delighted to be able to bring my DI Corstorphine series to a worldwide audience thanks to Claire Bord and everyone at Storm Publishing. I couldn’t ask for a more professional editorial team and know my work is in the safest of hands, from first read through to the finished manuscript. I’m looking forward to introducing DI James Corstorphine and his small Highland team to new readers.”
Greig’s work has previously earned him recognition as a CWA New Blood Dagger Longlist author and McIlvanney Best Scottish Crime Novel Finalist, cementing his place among Scotland’s most promising crime writers.
The first of the new Detective Corstorphine novels will be published in ebook, audio and paperback in April 2025.
