After 10 years of publishing mysteries and thrillers it was an obvious choice for us to include Crime Fiction is an overall generic identifier for this line of books. It made sense to build our corporate identity around our name. We decided that every book we published would need to truly represent “Intrigue.” Each new publication would arouse curiosity or interest by unusual, new, fascinating or compelling qualities… it would succeed by appealing to the reader’s curiosity and interest. It would draw and capture the reader’s mind. With that as background, we wanted to establish a broad list, but not too broad. We needed to choose what kind of books we knew well enough to spot a winner, and whose market we could reach. Crime fiction almost always fits the bill, and we feel we have pretty deep expertise in mystery and thriller novels, so we knew we would start there.
