Just over a year ago I described Thorne's first book [[East of Innocence by David Thorne|East of Innocence]] as ''Raymond Chandler meets Ray Winstone''. I gather that an eight-way auction saw Tiger Aspect securing the option rights for a TV series. I'm looking forward to it. Can't help wondering if they roped Winstone in (and if I'm up for a cut of the agent fees?).
