We’re thrilled to announce that Publishing Director Emily Gowers has acquired World All Language rights, including film and TV, for three books in a new Victorian mystery series by Lana Williams: The St. Vrain Investigations. When a body is found hidden in the wall of a newly purchased home, brooding Griffith Sinclair and spirited spiritual investigator Elizabeth St. Vrain must join forces to unmask a killer… Book 1 publishes in January 2027.
Lana says,
“I’m delighted to bring this new historical mystery series to readers with the help of Emily and the Storm team! Griff and Lizzie are two characters close to my heart, each learning to trust themselves while deciding who else to let in, and I can’t wait for readers to meet them.”
Emily says,
“Lana is a masterful writer with a real gift for atmosphere and suspense, and I am thrilled to be working with her on this captivating new series. Griff and Lizzie’s chemistry is irresistible, the Victorian setting is richly drawn, and these mysteries will keep readers guessing until the very last page. I couldn’t be more excited to bring these books to the world!”
