Just days ahead of the London Book Fair 2012, translation rights were sold to China for six crime novels in the Solent based marine mystery crime series, featuring the flawed and rugged DI Andy Horton.

Nanhai Publishing Company of Haikou bought translation rights to six novels in the DI Horton series published in the UK and USA by Severn House. Now Deadly Waters, the second in the Horton series is set to be published this month in China.

The deal was done through Chengdu Rightol Media & Advertisement Co Ltd. of Chengdu, China.

Tide of Death, the first in the Horton series, is already published in China along with the thriller In Cold Daylight.





Two novels in the DI Horton series, A Killing Coast, and Death Lies Beneath have been published in the UK and the USA this year and the ninth DI Horton, Undercurrent is to be published in the UK in January 2013 and in the USA in May 2013 by Severn House.
