so I mentioned this in another thread recently - finding many books through their arm that have been translated and someone just posted this in an Amazon forum
"AmazonCrossing, the translation imprint of Amazon Publishing, announced a commitment to publish Finnish crime fiction in English through 2015. The news coincides with Finland's participation as guest of honor at the Frankfurt Book Fair, which opened today.
The program launches this week with Katri Lipson's literary thriller The Ice Cream Man. Finnish works to be published over the next year include Leena Lehtolainen's The Bodyguard; Jari Järvelä's The Girl and the Bomb; Katja Kettu's Runeberg The Midwife; Marko Hautala's Hatchet Grandma; and Risto Isomäki's Lithium 6."
They already publish Leena Lehtolainen's stuff exclusively and i'm guessing the others may fall into that realm, but its still exciting
