Veronica Mars to be Featured in New Mystery Book Series

Vintage Books, an imprint of Random House, has announced that Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas will write a two-book series that continues the adventures of Nepture's resident detective.

The first currently untitled book is scheduled to be published in February 2014, with a storyline that is expected to be a continuation of that presented in the film currently in production at Warner Bros. (The current synopsis on the publisher's website reads, "The first book in an original mystery series featuring twenty-eight-year-old Veronica Mars, back in action after the events of Veronica Mars: The Movie. With the help of old friends — Logan Echolls, Mac Mackenzie, Wallace Fennel, and even Dick Casablancas — Veronica is ready to take on Neptune's darkest cases with her trademark sass and smarts."

"I started my career as a novelist," said Thomas. "Veronica Mars was first imagined as a novel. I'm thrilled that I'm going to get the opportunity to continue telling Veronica Mars stories in a form I've loved and missed."
