Mysterious Press released several backlist crime novels and a short story from three authors today in ebook format.
Two "Sidney Holden" novels and one short story by Jerome Charyn are now available. Holden is a retired hitman … who simply cannot stay retired.
Two stand-alone thrillers by David Corbett, first published by Ballantine in 2007 and 2010, are also being released.
Finally, there are three "Sarah Kelling and Max Bittersohn" mysteries and one stand-alone novel by Charlotte MacLeod. This the third batch of books by this author being released by Mysterious Press; see our previously announced list of titles here and here.
We're providing a list of all books below, sorted by author, with a synopsis from one of each.
Earlier this year we reported that Jeffrey Archer's 2006 stand-alone crime thriller False Impression was being adapted for film. Now we're learning that New Franchise, which owns the rights to the book, is leaning towards developing a television drama to take advantage of the multiple and intersecting character-driven storylines. (More details on the book, below.)
New Franchise is also looking to adapt the second "Kane and Abel" novel by Archer as a series as well. Published in 1982, The Prodigal Daughter follows a multi-generational family feud involving power and politics.
Neither adaptation is as yet associated with a network.
These projects are separate from another from NBC. The network is adapting the author's 1998 political thriller The Eleventh Commandment, which is in the pilot script stage.
John Connolly introduced former NYPD homicide detective Charlie "Bird" Parker in the 1999 mystery Every Dead Thing, a book that went on to win several awards including the 2000 Shamus Award for Best First P.I. Novel.
Now the publisher, Simon & Schuster, has discounted the ebook format of the second in the series, Dark Hollow, to just $3.99 for a limited time only. Read more about the book and available purchase options below.
The film rights to M. L. Stedman's debut psychological novel of suspense — and long-running bestseller — The Light Between Oceans is expected to be won by DreamWorks.
"I was deeply affected by M. L. Stedman's powerful and primal story of human choices and their consequences," said David Heyman, who will produce the film. "It's a novel which tackles grand emotions, but everything is rooted within an intimate yet universal story of marital and parental love."
Set on a remote island off the coast of Australia after the end of World War I, the storyline follows a couple, who find a baby adrift and decide to raise the little girl as their own. (More about the book, below.)
