W. F. Howes, RBmedia’s UK publishing brand, has acquired the audio rights for the next two titles in international bestselling author LJ Ross’s hugely popular Alexander Gregory series.
The agreement will see books seven and eight in the fast paced thriller series brought to life by British actor, author and accomplished narrator Richard Armitage, who has voiced the previous four Alexander Gregory titles.
The series follows the exploits of forensic psychiatrist and criminal profiler Dr Alexander Gregory as he steps inside some of the darkest criminal minds to solve the world’s most complex, mysterious and gruesome murder cases.
Obsession (book seven) is slated for simultaneous publication in September 2025, while the unnamed book eight in the series is expected to be published in 2026.
LJ Ross said: “I’m thrilled to have signed this new deal with W. F. Howes and to pick up where we left off with the adventures of Dr Alexander Gregory. It’s been a real pleasure working with the team - and of course the extremely talented Richard Armitage - on this series and I’m sure listeners are going to love what’s in store for our hero in these next two novels.”
The World Audio rights were acquired from Millie Hoskins from United Agents by Laura Smith, Acquisitions Manager at W. F. Howes.
“LJ Ross is one of the most popular authors on our list,” added Laura. “Her gripping and suspenseful writing style and trademark dark humour have always lent themselves perfectly for audio and it’s no surprise that the Alexander Gregory series has performed so well since the first title, Impostor, was launched back in 2019. We’re delighted to be strengthening our long and successful relationship with her and are excited to be collaborating with her and Richard Armitage on the next chapter.”
