Freeling, Crispin, Allingham and others bought up by PFD

The literary agency PFD has bought rights to many classic crime authors from Chorion. A spokesperson said:

“These are focused high-profile estates that might have a brand that is more recognisable to purchasers. Our strategy is to focus on international sales for these authors, to get them recognised globally, with new series for TV and radio too.” Which would be a good thing.
