The Paperback Sleuth - Like a Bullet

“Tightly plotted and hugely enjoyable. I raced to the end to find out whodunnit.” – Nev Fountain, author of The Fan Who Knew Too Much
“Packed with Andrew Cartmel’s customary wit and cleverness, the Paperback Sleuth novels make a splendid successor to the Vinyl Detective.” – Stuart Douglas, author of Death at the Dress Rehearsal
“An intriguing mystery with an amoral protagonist. Who knew the world of paperback books could be so deadly?” – Ben Aaronovitch, author of Rivers of London
“Andrew Cartmel introduces a new kind of heroine, entirely immoral, somewhat venal and slightly foxed.” – David Quantick, Emmy award-winning producer of VEEP
“A quirky crime yarn bound to hit the sweet spot for mystery lovers.” * Kirkus Reviews *
“Cartmel has never been better than in this darkly funny series kickoff… Fans of Lynne Truss’s Constable Twitten novels will find much to love.” – Publishers Weekly Starred Review
“Devilishly clever… richly suspenseful… readers will be primed for more.” – Booklist

Andrew Cartmel began a long and varied career in TV and publishing when he was hired as script editor on Doctor Who in 1986. He had a major (and very positive) impact on the final years of the original run of the TV show. He has recently completed a comedy for the London stage, Screwball, and is also writing the Vinyl Detective series of crime novels for Titan Books; the fourth, Flip Back, will be available soon. In his spare time, he likes to do stand-up comedy.
