Dick Wolf, king of the Law & Order brand, has signed a two-book deal with HarperCollins' imprint, William Morrow. Here is the official press release from HarperCollins:

Date: 07/26/2010
Author: Seale Ballenger
Subject: WILLIAM MORROW TO PUBLISH TWO THRILLERS BY DICK WOLF, CREATOR OF THE FAMED “LAW & ORDER” TELEVISION FRANCHISE


WILLIAM MORROW TO PUBLISH TWO THRILLERS BY DICK WOLF, CREATOR OF THE FAMED “LAW & ORDER” TELEVISION FRANCHISE

New York, NY (July 26, 2010) – William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers today announced plans to publish two novels by Dick Wolf, the visionary creator and executive producer behind one of television’s longest-running programs, “Law & Order” (NBC), and its extremely successful other “Law & Order” spin-off franchise series.

The first novel­­­­––as yet to be titled––is a tale in the tradition of The Day of the Jackal andThree Days of the Condor, a realistic, high-concept suspense thriller about a major terrorist attack planned for New York City over the July 4th weekend, engaging the Joint Terrorism Task Force and a NYPD Detective who is the city’s last hope to stop the attack.

The two-book deal was acquired by William Morrow Executive Editor, David Highfill, who was sent the project on exclusive submission by Richard Abate at 3ArtsEntertainment, and pre-empted it, buying World English rights, including all Audio and EBook rights, etc. Wolf’s attorney Cliff Gilbert-Lurie and agent Peter Benedek (UTA) made the deal.

Highfill says, “As he has shown us in the authenticity and freshness of his TV work, Dick Wolf is a master of tightly woven, character-driven American stories that feel like they are happening right in front of you, right now, not last week or last year. He will bring just that sense of heightened immediacy and drama to this new novel.”
