On their website, Pushkin Vertigo says that their mission is to feature “crime writing from across the globe”, and so their "series" is just that - a collection of mysteries by various authors from various places around the globe. It's a little bit like Amazon Crossing, but Amazon Crossing never piled all of their translated books into one "series".
It kind of reminds me more of the really old Dell "mapback" paperback series that featured a map on the back as sort of a unifying branding element, but were by various authors. Or the somewhat later Dell "Murder Ink" series that did the same thing with a special logo, while still having mysteries by multiple authors.
I don't know if an attempt at branding like that is going to work these days or not...
