This eas incredibly fun to translate and may have played a part in inspiring my move to Berlin. Oh, and Billy Wilder makes an appearance too!

Love this intelligent, powerful novel. Love it even more for knowing the Uber right idiot in charge of Argentina would hate it. This is the kind of tale of the past fascists try to erase.

Sometimes murder runs in the family. Or does it?
The Murder Pool is trademark Stella Blómkvist, with her talent for attracting trouble, making for an explosive mix of murder, intrigue and surprise.

One of the most remarkable books we've published! Hardly anyone bought it, but we're immensely proud of Rodolfo Walsh's Last Case – by Elsa Drucaroff, translated by Slava Faybysh.

'A crime novel to relish. Outstanding.’ That's how @MWCravenUK described Jón Atli Jónasson's Broken.
At work on the next in the series and it's every bit as sharp-edged, out later this year. So if you haven't read Broken, grab it now...

A dose of ice-cool Nordic Noir to take the edge off a hot summer? Sólveig Pálsdóttir is one of Iceland's best-loved crimewriters, always has something to say.
And there's a new Guðgeir novel in the works for early next year...

@EastHullPete Oregano are the best! Never thought I'd see them outside Greece!

'Why is Murder Pool so good? It deals with issues, the most pressing in society but all handled with wit and style. Stella is caustic, funny and edgy but great company, compelling and endearing, despite her toughness – cleverness is attractive'
