Издательство HarperCollins заключило восьмикнижное соглашение с британским автором триллеров Джеком Джорданом

Hanover Square Press, an imprint of HarperCollins’s Harlequin division, has struck an eight-book deal to become the U.S. and Canadian publisher for U.K. thriller author Jack Jordan, beginning in 2027 with the publication of the “propulsive legal thriller” Conviction, per an announcement. Hanover Square editorial director John Glynn acquired North American rights from Madeleine Milburn at her eponymous agency in a “major” deal, according to a release. The deal comes as Jordan’s work garners interest from Hollywood, with Hulu recently ordering a series adaptation of Conviction starring Elisabeth Moss and written by House creator David Shore from 20th Television. Jordan has a multiyear development deal with 20th Television that includes his novels Deception and Redemption, which Hanover Square will publish in June 2027 and September 2027, respectively, as well as future books and original scripts, per a release. Among the other titles in the Hanover Square deal are Before Her Eyes, Night by Night, Do No Harm, and A Woman Scorned, which are all being published for the first time in North America between 2027 and 2029. The imprint will also publish Whiplash, Jack’s forthcoming 10th novel, in 2028. Since the Hanover Square deal was brokered, 13 deals have also been signed on the translation side, selling at auction in regions across Europe, Asia, and South America, per a release. In a statement, Glynn said Hanover Square is “thrilled to get to publish the 'master of the moral dilemma' for North American audiences and introduce them to the creative mind currently electrifying Hollywood." “I have admired Harlequin Trade Publishing and Hanover Square Press for some time,” Jordan added, “and I am so pleased to be joining the ranks of such esteemed authors on their list, with my books in the safest of hands with John Glynn. The vision and ambition of John and his team have been utterly infectious from day one, and I am so excited to be working with them to release my books in the U.S. and Canada for the first time alongside a roster of adaptations to grip audiences both in print and on screen.”
