 Eisenhorn- SPOILER ALERTS FOR MUILTIPLE BOOKS!
The Eisenhorn Trilogy written by Dan Abnett is a 1st person recount of events in the Helican Sub-Sector involving the Inquisition, and particularly Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn. When writing the book, Dan states in the Foreword that, while developing the Inquisitor specialist game, GW sent Dan all the usual fluff updates. With it came a drawing titled Inquisitor. When Dan asked Black Library if he could write about it, they said yes. Eventually, word of the book's writing reached the Inquisitor development team, and they asked GW to set Dan a deadline. That deadline was the date of the Inquisitor board game.
Dan himself says it was to make everyone look big and smart. Indeed, the first book, Xenos, was released simultaneously with the board game.
To read the review properly, highlight the text.

Xenos
In Xenos, Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn is in his forties. Middle-aged by normal standards, young by Inquisitorial stnadards. For the last 6 years he has chased the heretic Eyclone through the Galaxy, and has finally cornered him in a hibernation chamber on Hubris. Though Eyclone is killed, over a thousand of the Hubrisian Noble elite die of hibernation sickness. On Hubris, however, he finds Chastener Godwyn Fischig of the Adeptus Arbites. He is assigned to accompany Eisenhorn in wake of the genocide as an assurance. The pair, along with Eisenhorn's pilot, Midas Betancore, of Glavia, his savant, Uber Aemos, and his Astropath, Lowink, go on a search for Eyclone's hirer. They find someone connected to the organisation on Hubris, and eliminate him (after interrogation). While there, however, they come across Alizebeth Bequin, an untouchable.
The group discover that the crime is connected to a guild on the world of Gurdrun, and so they leave for the planet.
