About Crime City
Welcome to Crime City, the home of crime at Allen & Unwin
Here you will find all our latest releases, the latest awards and reviews, information about our authors and exclusive Crime City competitions.
Whether you like to curl up with serial killers, swindlers, world weary police, grizzled private eyes, aristocratic amateur detectives, shady lawyers or dogs with a nose for wrong-doing , you've come to the right place!
From bestselling international authors such as
Michael Connelly,
P.D. James, Minette Walters and
CJ Box to local Australian stars like
Kerry Greenwood,
Barry Maitland,
Peter Corris and
Miranda Darling – not to mention the range of the Faber, Serpents Tail and Corvus authors represented by Allen & Unwin – we have books for every kind of crime fan.
Fancy snuggling up with some '
cosy crime'? Perhaps
police procedurals are more your thing. Or you've read the Millennium trilogy by Stieg Larsson and have acquired a taste for corruption and murder played out in
snowy Scandinavian climes? Browse our books and we're sure you'll find something to tickle your interest, be it global conspiracy or small-town mystery. And of course, truth can be stranger than fiction. True crime fans will find plenty to discover here.
And at Allen & Unwin, we don't just publish crime. We also read and watch and consume it - and we love to talk about it too! Why not visit
Allen & Unwin on Facebook? There you'll find us talking reviews, interviews, guest posts from authors and publishers, random thoughts on the world of books, plus chances to win advance reading copies, free books, and other goodies! And we'd love you to join us!
