(…) Ms. Neuhaus is Germany’s top-selling crime novelist, and her work is catching on throughout Europe and in parts of Asia. After a major German publisher discovered one of her novels in a bookshop in 2008 and took her on, her sales have been climbing steadily, topping three million.

Now she aims to conquer the U.S. market, a feat no other German crime writer has pulled off. Next week, Minotaur Books will release the first English translation of “Snow White Must Die,” a brutal murder mystery that has sold a million copies in Germany and has sold to publishers in 18 other countries. In May, AmazonCrossing, Amazon ’s imprint for works in translation, will release her first book, a stand-alone financial thriller titled “Swimming With Sharks.” More.
