Two Roads buys Hannington duo

Two Roads has acquired two novels by Peter Hannington, a producer at BBC Radio 4. Publisher Lisa Highton bought world rights from John Saddler at The Saddler Agency.

When a bomb goes off in Kabul killing a local official, Carver, an old BBC hack, is warned off the story. But his instincts tell him something isn't quite right and he won't give up until he finds the truth. Continue reading at 'The Bookseller'
