Deputy Managing Director Claire Bord has acquired World English Language rights to The Ninth Girl, the fourth book in the Special Agent Emily Ray series by Michele Dominguez Greene, from Jill Marsal at Marsal Lyon Literary Agency.
The series follows FBI Special Agent Emily Ray, a kidnapping survivor whose personal trauma drives, and haunts, her most dangerous cases.
Claire Bord said:
“Michele has created a unique protagonist in Emily and earned a dedicated following for the series. The stories are propulsive and full of emotional depth which is exactly what readers love. I’m excited for them to get their hands on The Ninth Girl. This fourth instalment takes Emily into the dark heart of Hollywood’s most powerful circles, forcing her to confront her own deepest trauma – and it’s her most gripping case yet.”
Michele commented:
“I am thrilled to be signed with Storm Publishing, I love working with this team. My editor, Claire Bord, is terrific and the whole company is very supportive of my work. This is a wonderful place for writers!”
The Ninth Girl publishes in September 2026 in ebook, audio and paperback.
