The next Leo Bruce text we shall provide (because it too, sadly, is out of print—though second-hand copies are not so rare as Case with Ropes and Rings) will be Case without a Corpse. Then, over forthcoming weeks, we’ll publish the last two Sergeant Beef novels, which are also so regrettably out of print, Neck and Neck and Cold Blood. Later, if we locate copies of At Death’s Door, Death of Cold , Dead for a Ducat, Death on the Black Sands, Death on Romney Marsh and Death by the Lake, we’ll transcribe those Carolus Deene novels, as well as tother out-of-print books.

UPDATE XII (14 January, 2015): we have obtained a copy of another rare, out-of-print Carolus Deene novel, A Louse for the Hangman—far, far more cheaply than the few other copies available because it has, horresco referens, no dust jacket!—and we hope to provide the chapters thereof in May.
