Publishing deal - Michael Ridpath

Michael Ridpath's keeping busy. Not only is he writing the Iceland-set Fire & Ice series but he's also written a historical thriller to be published next year. From Booktrade:

Set in 1938 Berlin, CONSPIRACY  is a fast paced thriller charting the fortunes of Conrad de Lancey, an Anglo-German pacifist who inadvertently becomes involved in the first plot to kill Hitler as Europe stands on the brink of war.

A further novel has also been contracted. Head of Zeus will publish in hardback as a lead title in Spring 2013. Corvus will continue to publish Ridpath's Icelandic based Fire and Ice series.
