Start a free account →Crime and thriller is one of the steadiest parts of submissions and one of the least forgiving. Domestic noir, police procedural, psychological suspense, spy fiction, cosy crime, and the loud commercial thriller all sit here. Agents read for tension quickly because readers do too. This page shows agents who explicitly represent crime and thriller. The broad search toggle catches more who'd consider it under commercial fiction, mystery, suspense, or upmarket fiction.
