Joffe Books’ Book of the Week, sounds fantastic. Get THE UNIFORM, a first-rate crime thriller debut by Jodie Lawrance!  99p/99c

Helen Carter has just landed her first case as a detective: a murder in an abandoned cinema. A mysterious clock-like symbol is drawn on the wall . . . in blood.  Stranger still is what the killer left behind: the business card of an ex-cop.

Since being promoted from WPC, Helen is having trouble making her mark in the male-dominated Edinburgh CID, working under Inspector Jack Craven. He’s not happy about having a woman on his team. Witnesses won’t talk to her, her colleagues don’t take her seriously.  And now a body turns up in a sweet shop with a pocket watch shoved in his mouth.

The clock is ticking to stop a serial killer.

Martin was represented in the deal by Kate Nash of the Kate Nash Literary Agency while SNE was represented by Darren Trattner from Jackoway Tyerman in LA.

The DI Hillary Greene series currently has 18 novels and has sold over two million copies. The series is a cold case homicide investigation centred on a “flinty, brilliant” detective living in Oxfordshire. The titles follow Greene as she is partnered for the first time with former LAPD detective John Sullivan.

SNE’s Becky Southwell and Dylan Neal plan to create a dramatic TV series in a co-production with the UK, along with the support of Play Media in Canada.

Neal commented: “We are thrilled that Faith has entrusted us with bringing Hillary to the TV screen and know that her millions of loyal readers will be joined by even more TV viewers. We believe that everyone will fall in love with this addictive procedural and the two complicated leads at its heart, just as Becky and I have.”
