These look very interesting and I think I have heard the name of Brian Freemantle somewhere. Will look it up. Ed McBain's 87th Precinct books are terrific though I confess having read very few of them. You're going to love them.Prashant C.

I do actually think there is some loose wiring in my head, as it does usually perform like a normal person's brain until I hear the magic word.........BOOKS!<br />I think the first two I have are US editions and the blurb for each is from Fantastic Fiction. Randall - the Spy Guy guru is American so the public - private educated thing is confusing.

That's hilarious. We need to make up a word for this foible -Colbookmania? - though you do the rest of us a favour in making our own book-buying habits seem very restrained. I'm guessing that the top one is a US book - public-school-educated means something very different there and here.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.com
