The duo were then snapped up by HarperCollins, with the company buying four titles in 2011 in a six-figure pre-empt deal. The pair first achieved success together self-publishing on Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing platform, with Catch Your Death, a Kindle bestseller. The deal is the second Edwards has done with Thomas & Mercer, after he signed world rights to two psychological thrillers last September, but it is the first done jointly with co-author Voss. The book is a police procedural-meets-psychological thriller and is the first of a series the authors plan to write together.
