Editorial Director Emily Gowers has acquired World All Language rights, including film and TV, for three more books in the Georgina Drake cosy crime series by Kate Hardy. When a photography job at a historic lighthouse goes awry, Georgina becomes embroiled in another complex mystery… The Body in the Lighthouse will be published in October.

Kate says,

“I’m thrilled to be continuing the Georgina Drake series. Emily is such a great editor, with incredible vision; working with her is an utter joy and I can’t wait to share more stories with readers.”

Emily says,

“Working with Kate is so much fun, and I am so happy to see her series is going from strength to strength, as readers fall for the irresistible charm of Georgie and Doris’s unconventional sleuthing partnership. I am so excited about the books to come!”
