Like most industries, publishing is all about what’s new. What’s the hot book this week, this month, what are the big books for the summer, for the holiday season? And we’re hardly bucking this trend; we send our new books out for review just like everybody else in the business. But the truth is, Felony wasn’t founded on the new; it was founded on yesterday’s news. Or, more precisely, on books that were too good to be allowed to slip-slide away into history.

This section is where we showcase them. These books deserve a new audience, and to sweeten the deal, we’re offering a special, for-one-month-only price. You’re welcome to buy copies for your dad and your Aunt Rita, along with yourself, but we’re looking for readers, not re-sellers, so no more than three copies per person. And if you like what you read, we hope you’ll shout it out.

April is Edgars Month

In the world of mysteries, April is Edgars Month. Ordinarily we offer a special discount every month on one title, but for this month, through May 15, we’re offering a SUPER-special, Edgars discount on all three of our past Edgar nominees.  One of the things we like best about this group is that it’s such a splendidly mixed bag. You like a little giggle with your mysteries? Well, LC Tyler, author of the “Herring” books, recently won an award in England for “best humorous crime novel” of the year. You’d prefer a little chilly Scandinavian gloom? Missing, by Karen Alvtegen has been likened to both Steig Larsson and Ruth Rendell. In other words, there is some very good and very varied reading here.
