Storm Publishing is delighted to announce the acquisition of world all-language rights to two further novels in the acclaimed Detective Corstorphine series by CWA New Blood Dagger longlisted and McIlvanney Prize shortlisted author Andrew James Greig.
The deal follows the outstanding performance of the series to date. Detective Inspector James Corstorphine’s investigations have struck a chord with readers worldwide, earning widespread praise for their vivid Highland settings, layered characterisation, and gripping, intricately plotted mysteries.
The acquisition also builds on Andrew James Greig’s breakout success with The Girl in the Loch, the first novel in his Private Investigator Teàrlach Paterson series. The book achieved bestseller status in both ebook and audio, introducing a new readership to Greig’s distinctive voice.
Deputy Managing Director Claire Bord said:
“The Detective Corstorphine novels have gone from strength to strength, becoming a real cornerstone of our crime list. Readers rave about the series and retention has been exceptional. We’re thrilled to be extending our partnership with Andrew and investing in the future of this hugely popular series.”
Andrew commented:
“I’m delighted to continue my publishing journey with Claire and all at Storm. DI Corstorphine and his team couldn’t be in better hands and it’s incredible to see how many new readers are finding and enjoying these books. From the first submission, Storm have been outstandingly supportive and professional in their dedication to ensuring my stories reach a wider audience. Looking forward to bringing these new stories to life in 2026.”
The fifth and sixth Detective Corstorphine novels are scheduled for publication in ebook, audio, and paperback in November 2026 and June 2027.
