To The Customer, The Spoils

Fecking great day of shopping at No Alibis. I got:

Dark Times in the City by Gene Kerrigan
Little Girl Lost by Richard Aleas
361 by Donald E Westlake
The Crossmaglen Dispatch by Paddy O'Hanlon
All The dead Voices by Declan Hughes

David also had the Serpent's Tail release of Fifty Grand in his shop. The blurb names Mercado as Hernandez, but I'm sure that'll be corrected in the final version. The publicity sheet thingy uses the right name. It also brings word that the repackaged Dead/Michael Forsythe Trilogy will be available on 16th July 2009 along with Fifty Grand. If you haven't got these books, buy 'em all.

Charles Ardai, alias Richard Aleas, likes to tell the story of how Hard Case was forced to alter the cover of Little Girl Lost at the behest of a major American retailer that didn't like "dirty feet or butt cleavage." More info here.

Good news re Mr. McKinty's books - I've wanted to get hold of the first of the Forsythe books for a while.

And I can't resist clicking on a link about "dirty feet or butt cleavage".

Sorry I couldn't provide illustrations of the dirty feet and butt cleavage. Not that I'm afraid of transporting obscene material over the Internet; I just haven't seen that original version of the illustration. It must be something, though. Just look at the size of that woman's left foot.

Peter - Nice link. thanks.

Stuart - Going by the latest on Adrian's blog, you'll be able to get that DIWMB signed by the man himself at No Alibis in July.

Cheers
