Grove Atlantic is launching an imprint focused on crime and mystery called Atlantic Crime that will debut this fall and is expected to publish 18-24 titles per year. Senior editor Joe Brosnan will oversee the new imprint, and its inaugural list will include What About the Bodies, the second novel from Edgar Award-nominee Ken Jaworowski.
Previously, Grove Atlantic's crime and mystery titles were published by several of the company's imprints and include three Edgar Award-winning novels--Gone by Mo Hayder, The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen, and Flags on the Bayou by James Lee Burke.
"Over the years we have cultivated a fine mystery and thriller list, from New York Times bestselling author Donna Leon, award-winning author Thomas Perry, and the world-renowned Len Deighton to wonderful emerging writers, three of whom are finalists for this year's Edgar Awards: Henry Wise for Holy City, Mindy Mejia for World of Hurt, and Tom Ryan for The Treasure Hunters Club," said Grove Atlantic CEO and publisher Morgan Entrekin. "It is time to bring these authors together under one imprint."
"I'm incredibly excited to launch this imprint," said Brosnan. "With Atlantic Crime, our ultimate goal is to give our authors an imprint they're proud to call home. One that's designed with author care in mind and dedicated to growing careers, whether they're debut writers or seasoned pros."
