Friday Night Rights

It's been an exciting week here at ARLA! Not only did we make it to the London Book Fair unscathed by volcanic ash, we also signed Dennis Lehane with a new UK publishing team!

There were several worthy competitors, but ultimately David Shelley of Little, Brown was the victor. He scored a two-book deal for Moonlight Mile, Lehane's final Patrick and Angie novel, and the as yet untitled sequel to The Given Day.

We'd like to thank Sarah Nundy of Andrew Nurnberg Associates for running point on this one!
