Lavie Tidhar‘s ADAMA has been selected as the number one crime novel of 2025 by Deutschlandfunk Kultur! The novel is published by Suhrkamp Verlag, and was translated by Conny Lösch. Here’s the synopsis…

1946 beginnt die junge Ruth, sich in Palästina ein neues Leben aufzubauen, getrieben von jugendlichen Idealen in einem Land, das ihr feindlich gesinnt ist. Sie ist eine ungarische Zionistin, die, anders als die meisten Mitglieder ihrer Familie, den Nazis in Budapest entkommen konnte.

ADAMA is published in the UK by Apollo. Here’s the English-language synopsis…

THERE IS NO LAND WITHOUT BLOOD, AND I WATER THIS LAND WITH THE BLOOD OF MY MEN.

Ruth’s family were in Budapest when the Nazis came.

Now Ruth is in Palestine, amid the bare hills inland from Haifa, breaking the rocky soil of an unyielding land before it breaks her.

With her comrades, her fellow kibbutzniks, she will build a better world. There will be green grass, orange trees and pomegranates, a land that is their own and no one else’s.

So they till their fields, dig their wells, build their homes and forge a new way of living, fiercely proud of their shared pursuit of a dream.

But as one generation begets another, the dream unravels, twisted into a dark tapestry of secrets and lies; sacrificed for revenge, forbidden love and murder.

A sweeping historical epic following four generations of a single family as they struggle to hold on to their land and each other.

THE GRAPPLES OF WRATH by Alice Bell is Out in Three Weeks!

Posted on Thursday, December 11th, 2025

Alice Bell‘s third novel, THE GRAPPLES OF WRATH is out in three weeks! Due to be published by Corvus on January 1st, 2026, it once again features Claire Hendricks, the star of the author’s first two acclaimed supernatural mysteries — GRAVE EXPECTATION and DISPLEASURE ISLAND. Here’s the synopsis for the new novel…

THIS MYSTERY HAS THEM IN A CHOKEHOLD…

Medium turned private investigator Claire Hendricks is excited to embark on her first official case.

Pro-wrestling manager Ken King is convinced that his late father, Eddie, is haunting the gym and show venue in Brighton. Ken hires Claire to help, unaware that her ghost best friend, Sophie, comes as part of the package.

But Eddie is adamant he did not die of natural causes, and tasks Claire and Sophie with bringing his killer to justice.

In the world of pro-wrestling, can they work out what’s real, who’s faking and unmask the killer once and for all?

Here are just a few of the great early responses THE GRAPPLES OF WRATH has received…

‘So much fun! Tight, funny and a well-woven mystery. This is what the world needs right now!’ — Kitty Murphy

‘About as good as modern murder mystery gets. Warm, very funny and absolutely fizzing with wit and originality.’ — Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants

‘A rollicking, hilarious, breakneck caper that reunites readers with my absolute favourite mismatched and ghostly sleuths. This book will blast away the cobwebs and make you laugh out loud. Perhaps best put in the words of one of her deader characters, Alice Bell is an absolute tonic!’ — Sam Blake

‘I adore Alice Bell’s biting wit, fabulous characters, and the creative set-up of her murder mysteries. THE GRAPPLES OF WRATH is another cracking addition to the series, with the added flair of some unforgettable pro-wrestling characters and a wonderful Brighton backdrop. Come for the spooky humour, stay for the satisfying twists and turns. An absolute delight from start to finish.’ — Kiersten Perrin

‘Just so much fun. I raced through Alice Bell’s third book – characters you can’t help but root for and lots of sneaky twists and turns. I loved it.’ — Heather Darwent

‘Hilarious, outrageous, and mysterious. The spooky ABC team strikes again, and Alice Bell continues to deliver with every book in this wonderful series.’ — Antony Johnson

‘THE GRAPPLES OF WRATH is a witty murder mystery that made me laugh out loud in places. Claire and her ghostly friend Sophie make an entertaining duo as they set about solving the murder of Eddie King with the help of a cast of vivid characters. The novel is as vivacious, lively and fun as its pro-wrestling setting.’ — Fiona Gartland

The first two novels are out now, published by Corvus in the UK and Vintage in North America.

ICYMI: Ben Aaronovitch’s MASQUERADES OF SPRING is a Waterstones Paperback of the Year!

Posted on Friday, October 3rd, 2025

We’re very happy to report that Waterstones has selected Ben Aaronovitch‘s THE MASQUERADES OF SPRING as one of their Paperbacks of the Year! It’s the latest novella in the Rivers of London series, and is published in the UK by Gollancz/Orion. Here’s the synopsis…

Meet Augustus Berrycloth-Young — flaneur extraordinaire and Englishman abroad — as he chronicles the Jazz Age from his perch atop the city that never sleeps.

‘Gussie’ is not one to shun shut-eye himself, however. But his peaceful luxuriation is about to be rudely awakened by the arrival of an unexpected guest.

Enter his old friend Thomas Nightingale, who has braved the Atlantic passage pursuing the matter of a rather intriguing saxophone said to possess a strange power over those who play it.

This deeply inconvenient affair will rouse Gussie from his warm bed for the cold shores of Long Island – and down to the jazz clubs of Harlem where music, magic, and madness haunt the shadows…

If you’re a fan of Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams — don’t panic — you will love Ben Aaronovitch’s imaginative, irreverent and all-round irresistible novels.

Posted on Tuesday, September 30th, 2025

WHISPERS UNDERGROUND, the third novel in Ben Aaronovitch‘s best-selling and acclaimed Rivers of London series, is out now in Turkey! Published by Epsilon, as YERALTINDAN FISILTILAR, it was translated by Kübra Tekneci. Here’s the synopsis…

Peter Grant yine iş başında!

Amerikalı güzel sanatlar öğrencisi James Gallagher’ın Baker Caddesi metro istasyonunda cesedinin bulunmasıyla başlayan polis soruşturmasının ucu, gizemli bir kâseye uzanır. Tabii Londralı polis memuru ve büyücü çırağı Peter Grant, kendi yöntemlerini de kullanarak araştırmaya koyulur ve meselenin özü, kimsenin tahmin etmediği ve doğal olmayan bir yere çıkar.

Maktulün oldukça varlıklı ve siyasi olarak güçlü bir aileden olması ise işin içine FBI’ın karışmasına ve Peter’a genç, hırslı ve güzel bir yardımcı atanmasına sebep olur. Sihre inanmayan ve büyünün şeytan işi olduğunu düşünen Amerikalı yardımcı ile uğraşmak bir yana, İngiltere’deki kayıtlı son büyücü Müfettiş Nightingale’in de dahil olduğu tüm ekip, kendilerini Londra’nın altındaki tünellerde bulur.

Londra’nın âdeta altını üstüne getiren, polisiye ve doğaüstü olaylarla sıkı sıkıya örülü bu macerada, Peter adım adım tüm düğümleri çözmek zorunda.

WHISPERS UNDERGROUND is published in the UK by Gollancz, in North America by JABberwocky, and in Germany by DTV. It is also available widely in translation around the world. Here’s the English-language synopsis…

Peter Grant is learning magic fast. And it’s just as well – he’s already had run-ins with the deadly supernatural children of the Thames and a terrifying killer in Soho. Progression in the Police Force is less easy. Especially when you work in a department of two. A department that doesn’t even officially exist. A department that if you did describe it to most people would get you laughed at. And then there’s his love life. The last person he fell for ended up seriously dead. It wasn’t his fault, but still.

Now something horrible is happening in the labyrinth of tunnels that make up the tube system that honeycombs the ancient foundations of London. And delays on the Northern line is the very least of it. Time to call in the Met’s Economic and Specialist Crime Unit 9, aka ‘The Folly’. Time to call in PC Peter Grant, Britain’s Last Wizard.

The latest novel in the series is STONE & SKY, published by Gollancz/Orion (UK), DAW Books (North America), and DTV (Germany).

Lavie Tidhar’s GOLGOTHA Out Now!

Posted on Thursday, September 11th, 2025

GOLGOTHA, the conclusion to the acclaimed Maror trilogy by Lavie Tidhar, is out now! Published by Apollo/Head of Zeus, here’s the synopsis…

Two men, decades apart, are ensnared in the deadly search for a fabled treasure in the conclusion to Lavie Tidhar’s epic and audacious Maror Trilogy.

1882, Jerusalem
The foreigner. A man with no name, twin guns at his hips, a wide-brimmed hat on his head. A European exile in the backwaters of Ottoman Palestine, The foreigner is a bounty hunter in pursuit of a thief.

1948, Haifa
Burton. A man with one name, a detective inspector in the crumpled khaki uniform of the Palestine Police Force’s CID. With just seven days before the British Mandate ends, he must find a murderer and a missing aristocrat, as order collapses around him.

Both men are outsiders in a land that is a palimpsest of ruins and loyalties, legacy of a history written in blood on a landscape that remembers everything. Both men will treat with bandits and mystics, dreamers and killers as they pursue their quarry; both will be ensnared in a lethal search for the fabled treasures of the Second Temple, long-lost amid the rise and fall of peoples, nations and empires. And both will be haunted by their dreams: burning red skies, a mountain of skulls, echoes of a vision from the dawn of humanity.

Before Jerusalem, before Jericho, there has always been Golgotha.

‘A searing portrait of history as both knife and the longing heart it seeks. Tidhar’s best.’ — Junot Díaz

‘The feel and senses of this complicated world come vividly to life, and you can almost smell the hot sand and sun-baked goats. Twists and turns abound, and the body count mounts up – as it continues to do today unfortunately in this contested place. Perhaps the treasure we seek should be the ability to co-exist together even when we are from different peoples, tribes, religions, etc., and this could be seen as one of the key themes of the novel.’ — Historical Novels Society Magazine

The first two novels in the trilogy — MAROR and ADAMA — are out now, also published by Apollo/Head of Zeus.

Three Weeks: Ben Aaronovitch & Adam Oyebanji at Bloody Scotland!

Posted on Wednesday, August 20th, 2025

In three weeks, Ben Aaronovitch and Adam Oyebanji will be taking part in an event at the Bloody Scotland festival: “Murder Most Speculative”. The event is on September 12th, at 8:30pm. It is a ticketed event, and will also feature Nicholas Binge. Here’s what it’ll be about…

There’s some corner of the crime fiction field that is for ever slightly weird, stretching both the boundaries of the genre and your imagination, creating wonderful worlds of murder and mystery where anything can happen.

Ben is the internationally bestselling author of the Rivers of London series of novels and novellas. The latest book, STONE & SKY is out now, published by Gollancz/Orion in the UK, DAW Books in North America, and DTV in Germany. Here’s the synopsis…

‘This isn’t London. The rules are different up here, and so are the allegiances.’

Detective Sergeant Peter Grant takes a much-needed holiday up in Scotland. And he’ll need one when this is over…

If more’s the merrier, then it’s ecstatic as his partner Beverley, their young twins, his mum, dad, his dad’s band and their dodgy manager all tag along. Even his boss, DCI Thomas Nightingale, takes in the coastal airs as he trains Peter’s cousin Abigail in the arcane arts.

And they’ll need them too, because Scotland’s Granite City has more than its fair share of history and mystery, myth … and murder.

When a body is found in a bus stop, fresh from the sea, the case smells fishy from the off.

Something may be stirring beyond the bay – but there’s something far stranger in the sky…

Adam is the author, most recently, of ESPERANCE, published by Arcadia in the UK. Here’s the synopsis…

The history-bending speculative fiction from Adam Oyebanji, award-winning author of BRAKING DAY.

An impossible death: Detective Ethan Krol has been called to the scene of a baffling murder: a man and his son, who appear to have been drowned in sea-water. But the nearest ocean is a thousand miles away.

An improbable story: Hollie Rogers doesn’t want to ask too many questions of her new friend, Abi Eniola. Abi claims to be an ordinary woman from Nigeria, but her high-tech gadgets and extraordinary physical abilities suggest she’s not telling the whole truth.

An incredible quest: As Ethan’s investigation begins to point towards Abi, Hollie’s fears mount. For Abi is very much not who she seems. And it won’t be long before Ethan and Hollie find themselves playing a part in a story that spans cultures, continents . . . and centuries.

An extraordinary speculative thriller about the scars left by the Atlantic slave-trade, by a master of the genre.

Zeno represents Adam Oyebanji in the UK and Commonwealth, on behalf of the JABberwocky Literary Agency in New York.

Andrew Cartmel’s LIKE A BULLET audiobook edition is out tomorrow!

Posted on Wednesday, July 30th, 2025

Tomorrow, W. F. Howes are due to publish the audiobook edition of LIKE A BULLET, the third novel in Andrew Cartmel‘s Paperback Sleuth series! Read by Olivia Dowd, here’s the synopsis…

When Erik Make Loud, retired rock star and a major World War Two nut, hires Cordelia, the Paperback Sleuth, to track down a series of lurid paperbacks about his favourite global conflict—the “Commando” novels by the blatantly pseudonymous Butch Raider—it seems like a routine job. But Cordelia soon discovers the final novel in the series, the incredibly rare Commando Gold, is all but impossible to track down.

The books’ creator—real name Monty Harrington, once a promising young poet and now a depraved drunk—proves easier to find. Writing pulp war stories didn’t come naturally to Monty. Until he met someone who knew all about such stuff during a pub crawl; a genuine ex-commando who, for the price of a pint or two, was willing to provide Monty with authentic anecdotes.

Too authentic, it turns out…

Because Commando Gold reveals the details of a real-life commando mission.

At the time the mission was top secret.

And all these years later, someone is quite prepared to kill to keep it so.

The Paperback Sleuth series is published in print and eBook by Titan Books (out now) — the first two novels are DEATH IN FINE CONDITION and ASHRAM ASSASSIN.

The panel also features Sarah Pinborough and Eve Smith, and is chaired by Doug Johnstone.

Ben Aaronovitch’s latest novel is STONE & SKY, the tenth novel in his internationally-bestselling and acclaimed Rivers of London series. It’s published by Gollancz/Orion in the UK and DAW Books in North America. Here’s the synopsis…

‘This isn’t London. The rules are different up here, and so are the allegiances.’

Ben Aaronovitch’s DIE MEERJUNGFRAUEN VON ABERDEEN is out now!

Posted on Thursday, July 10th, 2025

DIE MEERJUNGFRAUEN VON ABERDEEN, the German translation of Ben Aaronovitch‘s 10th highly-anticipated Rivers of London novel, STONE & SKY, is out now! Published by DTV, it was translated by Christine Blum. Here’s the synopsis…

Eigentlich wollte Peter nur Urlaub in Schottland machen – besser gesagt: Beverley wollte das. Aber dank eines Schafs mit ungeklärter Todesursache landet wenig später ein Großteil der Londoner Magiepolizei sowie Peters Familie mit erweitertem Anhang (nicht zuletzt Cousine Abigail) im schönen Aberdeenshire. Und spätestens als die Obduktion einer männlichen Leiche sehr ungewöhnliche Ergebnisse liefert, ist es mit dem beschaulichen Badeurlaub an der schottischen Küste vorbei.

»Sei bloß vorsichtig«, sagte ich. »Hier in Schottland kann ich nichts für dich tun. Wenn du Probleme kriegst, bist du auf dich allein gestellt.« Und weil das Universum Ironie über alles liebt, kam in genau diesem Augenblick der Anruf von Abdul.

Es stellt sich heraus: Nicht nur in den Tiefen der See leben unbekannte Wesen, auch am Himmel ist magisch einiges los. Trotzdem hält keineswegs nur der spektakuläre Fall Peter auf Trab – die zweijährigen Zwillinge sind schwerer zu hüten als eine außer Kontrolle geratene Herde Schafe…

DTV has published all of Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London novels and novellas in Germany. The audiobook edition of DIE MEERJUNGFRAUEN VON ABERDEEN is also out today, published by Hörbuch Hamburg, and read by Dietmar Wunder and Sarah Dorsel.
