The deal, negotiated by Kalem Agency of Turkey and Monika Luukkonen Literary Agency, was struck with the Turkish publisher Trend Yay for the first three RC Bridgestock novels, Deadly Focus, Consequences and White Lilies.

"I am very excited about this deal which shows that RC Bridgestock crime novels are starting to get more and more interest from publishers outside the UK,” Literary Agent, Monika Luukkonen, was quoted as saying. 

“This follows on from the rights sale into South Korea earlier in the year and marks a fantastic year for Bob and Carol Bridgestock. They have been working as consultants with Red Productions on a new BBC crime drama Happy Valley, and ITV's award winning crime drama series, Scott & Bailey," Darren Laws, a spokesperson of Caffeine Nights, the Bridgestock's UK Publisher, revealed. 

The Isle of Wight-based RC Bridgestock is husband and wife crime fiction authors, Bob and Carol Bridgestock. With 47 years of policing with the West Yorkshire police force between them they write compelling police procedural novels set in Harrowfield, a fictional town in Yorkshire and a fourth novel is about to be added to RC Bridgestock's works with the publication of Snow Kills in November published by Caffeine Nights Publishing.
