Publishing Deal - Harlan Coben

Harlan Coben is to write a YA series. I've enjoyed several of his crime books and the French film based on his "break-out" novel Tell No One is brilliant. From The Independent:

Bestselling mystery/thriller author Harlan Coben is set to write a three-book young adult series, announced publishing blog GalleyCat on April 26. The books will tell the story of a teenager investigating "a conspiracy that may reach deep into his family history."

Coben has written 19 books, 47 million copies of which are in print worldwide. He is best known for his suspense novels, including a nine-part best-selling series about sports agent and sometimes murder investigator Myron Bolitar, as well as several standalone novels, among them his most recent title, Caught, which has also topped bestseller charts.

The new young adult series, Coben's first books written for that audience, will include appearances by the characters Myron Bolitar and Win Lockwood. The first book will be published in 2011.
