So
after bumping into Paul Cleave over the years on his visits to Theakston’s
Harrogate, we were delighted to receive this news from Kerry Hood of
Mulholland UK / Hodder and Stoughton.
Mulholland
Books are delighted to announce the acquisition of TRUST
NO ONE and seven Christchurch-set crime novels. Ruth Tross acquired British
Commonwealth rights excluding ANZ from Kevin Chapman at Upstart Press.
TRUST NO ONE is about a crime
writer with early onset Alzheimer’s, who becomes increasingly uncertain whether
the novels he remembers are fictional… particularly when bodies start being
found in real life.
Paul Cleave is the three-time
winner of the Ngaio Marsh Award, whose novels
have been praised by Mark Billingham, SJ Watson, Simon Kernick and many others.
Ruth Tross said, ‘Paul Cleave has one of the darkest,
sharpest and wittiest imaginations in crime, and I’m delighted to be publishing
the bulk of his work in the UK for the first time. From merciless serial
killers to maverick cops to confused and possibly murderous writers, his books
will show you an entirely different side of New Zealand.’
Mulholland will publish TRUST NO
ONE as a paperback original in July this year, with the other six titles out in
autumn in ebook.
