New Release this Month
This month we’re now the publisher for not one, but two thrillers by award-winning author Max Annas. The Farm, which released earlier this month, is a taut thriller set in a rural South African farmhouse. When unknown and unseen shooters attack in the dark of night, a diverse group of people barricade themselves inside the house. No one knows who the target is, no one knows what the motive is, and no one knows who will survive the night.
The Farm, translated by Rachel Hildebrandt Reynolds, was the winner of the 2015 German Crime Prize. The Farm joins The Wall, another award-winning novel from Max, as part of our African Crime Reads Series. These place-based novels offer mysteries and thrills— from police procedurals, to techo-thrillers, to family dramas— all set in locations around the continent.
Both The Farm and The Wall are out now. You can purchase them here at our site, or at your favorite local bookstore.
