*Crime, Spies & Sleaze: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, we turn to our Crime, Spies and Sleaze category, which now has the new layout down to ‘Brock’. The emphasis on this ‘B’ list is firmly on the sleazier side of crime, with most featured entries portraying attractive ‘pulp style’ covers. We recognise that a lot of these are collected for their cover art, and wherever possible, we shall be including the name of the cover artist in the listing. A couple of new entries: Murder Off The Record by John Bingham (Robert Maguire cover art) and Doing What Comes Naturally by Walker E Blake (Rafael DeSoto cover art). These are pictured below, alongside some other highlights. As always, see our catalogue for full details.
