International book fairs play an important role in creating connections, bringing together the people and ideas that continue to shape the publishing industry. This year, LIBER Feria Internacional del Libro 2026 welcomed the global publishing community to Barcelona for three days of networking, professional exchange, business opportunities, and conversations that opened new paths for books and their creators.
Taking place from September 29 to October 1, 2026, at Fira Barcelona Gran Via, Hall 1, LIBER 2026 served as a meeting point for the Spanish-language book industry and an important bridge between Europe and Latin America. The 44th edition brought together publishers, authors, agents, distributors, booksellers, rights buyers, and other industry professionals, creating opportunities to connect, exchange ideas, explore new markets, and discover possibilities within the evolving world of publishing.
Among the titles represented by Citi of Books at this year’s international gathering is “The Clinton Mafia” by Vonda Crocker. The book gives readers another opportunity to discover the author’s creative work and adds another distinctive title to the range of stories being brought into the LIBER community. Through its presence at the fair, the book can become part of conversations surrounding literature, publishing, and the ways authors can connect with readers across different markets.
This novel isn’t your average cozy mystery. It blends suspense, humor, real-world issues, and rich character development into a page-turning story that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. At the heart of the chaos is a group of unforgettable women—affectionately known as “The Clinton Mafia”—who are as witty and loyal as they are underestimated.
The story kicks off with the seemingly ordinary routines of Clinton’s residents: fudge-making, flower-shop tending, courthouse coffee breaks, and wine nights among a tight-knit group of friends.
But things take a sinister turn when a man dies in a car crash, triggering a hidden drug cache to reveal itself and setting off a chain of events that suggests something far viler is happening beneath Clinton’s picturesque surface. Savanna Sue Morgan and her band of fiercely intelligent, humorous, and devoted friends—Tiffany, Valita, Roz, Tammy, Belle, Buffy, and more—who begin to notice that something isn’t right.
From suspicious sales of large quantities of fudge to overheard conversations in a Mobile, Alabama restroom, the ladies connect the dots between their sleepy town and a multi-state drug operation. What follows is a combination of sleuthing, undercover teamwork, support for vulnerable community members, and a thrilling unraveling of a cocaine distribution ring—all while managing boutiques, writing food columns, and sharing wine-fueled updates on their families.
Overall, “The Clinton Mafia” by Vonda Crocker is a smart, sassy, and surprisingly powerful novel that celebrates friendship, sharp instincts, and the courage to stand up when something doesn’t feel right. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with a twist, strong female leads, or those who appreciate a touch of humor in their mystery, this book will leave you cheering for the ladies of Clinton—and wondering what they’ll uncover next.
With its focus on international business, professional networking, and the expansion of Spanish-language publishing into European and Latin American markets, LIBER provides a setting where these connections can take shape.
