June is International Crime Month! International Crime Month is a month-long initiative featuring internationally acclaimed crime fiction authors, editors, critics, and publishers appearing together in a series of readings, panels, and discussions. Four of America’s most influential independent publishers—Grove Atlantic, Akashic Books, Melville House, and Europa Editions—have joined forces to promote one of the most vital and socially significant fiction genres of our time.

International Crime Month will highlight new titles from Europa’s recently launched World Noir imprint, Akashic’s “Noir” series, and Grove Atlantic’s Mysterious Press, Atlantic Monthly Press imprints, and our own International Crime Series. Internationally renowned authors scheduled to appear include our own Wolf Haas, Marek Krajewski
