New Publisher coming!

The line plans to publish "crime novels, thrillers, police procedurals, spy stories, even supernatural suspense."

Everyone at Little, Brown is excited to be taking part in the launch of Mulholland Books, an imprint whose goal is to single out these writers and publish them with an eye to community building and fresh marketing that has only become possible today.”
