Kim Sherwood to Pen Trio of James Bond Novels
HarperCollins has acquired U.S., Canadian, and U.K. and Commonwealth rights to three contemporary thrillers by author Kim Sherwood that will feature "a new raft of Double O agents" in the world of James Bond. In the books, the publisher said, "James Bond is missing, presumed captured or even killed. All of Bond’s contemporaries are gone, and a new generation of Double O agents has been recruited to replace them and battle a global threat. At the same time, M and Moneypenny are searching for a mole in MI6. Will the truth be uncovered in time—or is this the end of the Double O section?" David Highfill at William Morrow acquired U.S. rights from Jonny Geller and Viola Hayden of Curtis Brown, on behalf of Ian Fleming Publications Limited. Sherwood is represented by Susan Armstrong at the C&W Agency.
