Brash Books are re-publishing in Feb 2015 on kindle. Otherwise it doesn't appear to be that easy to come by cheaply for a second hand book. I'll read it early next year I reckon.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-44076488215561759862014-12-08T06:55:48.657-08:002014-12-08T06:55:48.657-08:00OK you grabbed my interest with 'the best dete...OK you grabbed my interest with 'the best detective story ever' so had to go and look it up.
