Books Update: Re-Working our Crime, Spies & Sleaze Category: A Mixed Bag of Crime & Sleaze with new addition and classic Heade cover
*Crime, Spies & Sleaze: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, a mix of four books, some crime, some sleaze and some that blur the boundaries between the two. Monty Nash in Scream Bloody Murder (new in) is from the Department of Counter Intelligence, starring in a murder thriller. Law Of Lust is about a depraved judge. The half-Aboriginal detective Napoleon Bonaparte (Bony) stars in Arthur Upfield’s Australia-set mystery The Mountains Have A Secret. A classic Reginalds Heade cover graces Roland Vane’s tale of sordid Soho and garish glamour Sinful Sisters.
