Cover Reveal: MURDER MINDFULLY by Karsten Dusse, translated from the German by Florian Duijsens, on sale 4.14.26 🪷💀🔪

In this zen and zany crime debut, a shady lawyer transforms his life through mindfulness—and uses his newfound techniques to kill his way to the top. Original series now streaming on Netflix.

Criminal defense lawyer Björn Diemel has been given an ultimatum: repair his work-life balance, or his wife will leave him—and take their daughter.

He reluctantly starts a mindfulness course, and to his surprise, it’s a revelation. He becomes calmer, happier, and more focused as he starts to understand what’s really important in life. When his worst client, brutal kingpin Dragan Sergowicz, tries to interfere with his precious family time, Björn will stop at nothing—not even killing—to protect his peace.

Don’t miss the follow-up, MY INNER CHILD WANTS TO KILL, on sale 8.4.2026. Both installments of the Mindful Murder series are available for pre-order now wherever books are sold.

Happy to THE RED SCARE MURDERS by Con Lehane 🌇

This wry, big-hearted noir brings 1950s New York to life, from the tenements of Hell’s Kitchen to the mansions of Riverdale, from Sing Sing to City Hall, with a gripping murder mystery laying bare the explosive conflicts between its big wheels, its working stiffs, its gangsters, and its dreamers.

July 1950: Mick Mulligan has just hung out his shingle as a private investigator in New York’s sweaty Hell’s Kitchen. A former Hollywood cartoonist who was blacklisted during a communist witch hunt, Mick is broke, divorced, and in need of a paying gig to make his child support payments. But maybe not this gig. First off, it’s impossible. Worse, it’s liable to get him killed.

Last year, universally reviled cab company owner Irwin Johnson was murdered. One of his drivers, an African American Communist Party member named Harold Williams, was arrested, tried, and found guilty, despite scant evidence. Now his ex*****on date is two weeks away. New York City labor leader Duke Rogowski asks Mick to find fresh evidence that might buy Harold a stay of ex*****on.

Lots of people might have wanted Irwin Johnson dead—anyone from his betrayed wife to his jilted mistresses’ jealous husbands to the mafiosi he was stealing business from. But no one has any reason to help Mick exonerate Harold Williams, and some of Irwin’s former associates are happy to take a blunt object to the head of anyone asking awkward questions. Yet Mick can’t abandon a potentially innocent man to the electric chair. Can he pull off a miracle?

👁️ 🛜 🎥 In JACKSON ALONE by Jose Ando, translated from the Japanese by Kalau Almony, four Black Japanese gay men team up against a culture where discrimination is deep-seated and revenge is just a click away, after the sudden appearance of an adult video online that targets all four men.

A short, blistering gut punch of a novel, JACKSON ALONE is at turns satirical and deadpan, angry and tender—a frank exploration of identity, race, and queerness in contemporary Japan from the winner of one of the country’s most prestigious literary awards, the Akutagawa Prize.
