Storm is delighted to announce that Amazon bestselling author M.L. Rose has signed a contract for three books in a new detective series. World language rights, including audio and translation, were acquired directly from the author. Deputy Managing Director Claire Bord will publish the Oxford-set series, which introduces readers to detective Nikki Gill. The first book is set to launch in October 2023, with two further books following in quick succession.
M.L. Rose says,
“Oliver and Claire have worked with the biggest authors in crime and mystery, and I am excited to be working with them. The Nikki Gill series will debut later this year, and together with Storm, I hope we can bring it to the widest audience possible.”
Claire Bord commented,
“Nikki Gill is not just a great series detective character – she’s a force to be reckoned with. She’s smart and independent yet possesses a raw vulnerability that makes her instantly relatable. This is a series that promises to keep readers on the edge of their seats, and I’m beyond excited to be publishing it.”
