Sox Knocker Saturday! Get Carter

I  love  micropresses!

I'm particularly thrilled when they are dedicated to publishing great crime novels.  This week I heard the news that Paul Oliver is publishing a small number of books, to be distributed by the Very Amazing and Super Smart Folks at Soho Press:

The newly launched, Brooklyn-based crime and mystery fiction publisher, Syndicate Books, has announced a distribution agreement with independent publishing house Soho Press. Through the deal, select print and digital titles from Syndicate will be distributed under the imprint name, Soho Syndicate, via Soho Press’s pre-existing relationship with Random House Publishers Services.

Syndicate publisher, and sole staffer, Paul Oliver, also happens to be the director of marketing and Publicity for Soho Press, and has no plans to leave Soho with the incorporation of his new micro-publisher.

I'm posting one of my hero's reviews...from the page you posted.

“Aristotle, when he defined tragedy, mandated that a tragic hero must fall from a great height, but Aristotle never imagined the kind of roadside motels James M. Cain could conjure up or saw the smokestacks rise in the Northern English industrial hell of Ted Lewis's Get Carter. ”
—DENNIS LEHANE, AUTHOR OF LIVE BY NIGHT

His stories had knocked my socks off many times.

Cheers Hank
