Stephen is exactly the kind of author I dreamed of commissioning when I moved to Bookouture,

said commissioning editor Jessie Botterill.

He’s smart, versatile and bursting with new ideas. I can’t wait to introduce DI Matthews to the world.

Stephen Edger responded,

It has been a dream of mine to work with Bookouture for two years, and I still can’t believe they’ve actually signed me! I can’t wait to work with Jessie and the team, and am very excited about where this series is going to take my readers.

The first book will be published in August 2017, with the next two in the series following shortly afterwards.

Do join us on Facebook and Twitter to celebrate.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
