Fahrenheit Press
Founded by publishing veteran Chris McVeigh, Fahrenheit Press specializes in crime fiction and thrillers. “We definitely won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but that’s just the way we like it. If we’re not ruffling some feathers, we reckon we’re doing something wrong,” the publisher said in its Web site.
