The Queens Mystery series by Michael Sears brings his crime fiction to the streets of Queens, New York. Tower of Babel (2021) and Love the Stranger (2024) use the borough’s famously diverse neighborhoods as a rich setting for stories about crime, community, and the tensions that arise when different worlds collide.
The series showcases Sears’s ability to write mysteries grounded in a vivid sense of place, with Queens itself functioning as a central character alongside the human cast.
