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.
The initiative will highlight new titles from Europa’s recently launched World Noir imprint, Melville House’s International Crime series, Akashic’s “Noir” series, and Grove Atlantic’s Mysterious Press imprint. Internationally renowned authors scheduled to appear include Jessica Hagedorn, Maurizio de Giovanni, Mark Billingham, Wolf Haas, and many others.
