Boltonshire Publishing is proud to announce the official launch of UNUSUAL SUSPECTS, a dedicated imprint for mystery and crime fiction in all its forms—from classic detective tales to inventive, genre-bending investigations.
As our catalog continues to grow, we wanted a space committed entirely to stories built on secrets, puzzles, schemes, clues, and characters who rarely tell the whole truth. Unusual Suspects is that home: a place for authors who delight in misdirection and readers who enjoy solving what others overlook.
This imprint brings together a broad spectrum of crime and mystery storytelling:
Traditional mysteries, Holmesian investigations, locked-room puzzles, case files with a sharp mind at the center, and stories steeped in the rich heritage of detective literature.
Heists, cons, coverups, cold cases, missing persons, noir tension, psychological intrigue, and narratives where every character has a hidden agenda.
Supernatural noir, comedic crime, surreal investigations, and stories that press against genre boundaries while still delivering the pleasure of a mystery solved.
Unusual Suspects is where Boltonshire’s cleverest and most unpredictable titles will live.
A new mystery inspired by the world’s greatest detective by JS Harrow.
The inaugural release for Unusual Suspects introduces a fresh case in the Sherlockian tradition—rich in atmosphere, sharp in deduction, and crafted for readers who appreciate both classic detective structure and modern storytelling sensibility.
More information, including cover art, summaries, and release dates, will be shared soon.
Mystery remains one of the most enduring genres in fiction, and Boltonshire aims to champion authors who bring originality, intelligence, and craft to it. By establishing Unusual Suspects, we’re creating a space where:
traditional mystery lovers feel at home
innovative storytellers can push boundaries
crime fiction of all tones—from dark to whimsical—can thrive
Every book in this imprint will share one promise:
There’s always more beneath the surface.
Boltonshire will soon open sign-ups for Advance Review Copies of Sherlock Holmes: The Stag and the Compass and other forthcoming mystery titles.
If you enjoy early access to new releases, watch for the announcement coming shortly.
A curated collection of the curious, the clever, and the criminal.
Where every clue matters.
Where every story has something to hide.
More announcements coming soon.
