We’re delighted to announce that Editorial Director Emily Gowers has acquired World English Language rights from Jill Marsal of the Marsal Lyon Literary Agency, for three books in a new FBI thriller series by Publishers Weekly bestselling author Nichole Severn.

Criminologist Leigh Brody is called home to the town where her little brother lost his life to a sadistic serial killer when a series of copycat crimes occur. Leigh never believed the police caught the right man and for her, this case is as personal as it gets. Only this time, she is determined to make the right person pay… The Leigh Brody FBI Mystery Thriller Series launches in May 2024.

Emily says,

“This book was Un. Put. Downable. Throughout the whole rollercoaster read, Nichole barely gave me a second to catch my breath as the startling revelations came thick and fast, repeatedly changing my perception of the crime and the killer! Leigh is an extraordinary but thoroughly relatable protagonist and I’m so excited to be embarking on this journey of publishing her story with Nichole and Jill.”

Jill says,

“The story draws you in, and the pacing never lets up. Terrific suspense!  And the story twists are masterful.  A great read, and I’m so thrilled to be working with Nichole and Emily on this.”

Connect with Nichole at her website, on Facebook and on Instagram.
