Steve Hamilton (GalleyCat)Author Steve Hamilton has signed a four-book deal with G.P. Putnam’s Sons. According to The Associated Press, literary agent Shane Salerno negotiated the deal on Hamilton’s behalf.

Hamilton (pictured, via) plans to write two new installments for both the Alex McKnight series and the Nick Mason series. His first release, entitled The Second Life of Nick Mason, will come out in 2016. Originally, he had a near seven-figure deal in place with Minotaur Books (an imprint at St. Martin’s Press).

Here’s more from Crimespree Magazine: “Award-winning author Steve Hamilton recently parted ways with St. Martins Press. News first came when SMP announced that it was parting ways with Steve. But that was not the end of it, Steve went public and cited a lack of support from his longtime publisher and said it was he that initiated the split.”
