Brian Petersen is an ex-military intelligence officer-turned-D.C. lobbyist recovering from his family’s tragic death in a car accident.

Mike Ripley in his SHOTS Magazine column raves about Brash's Barry Norman reprints! "Thanks to those irrepressible people at Brash Books of California, five of Barry [Norman]’s novels are now back in print... All Barry’s books are shot through with his trade-mark dry (but never cruel) wit never better employed when he touches on the mad world of movie-making and it’s wonderful to see them back in print."

All three critically-acclaimed crime novels in the Bobby Lennox series by legendary BBC presenter, reviewer and journalist Barry Norman in one ebook edition.

THE BIRDDOG TAPE
“Lots of bi**os and bodies, s*x and bucks. It’s a neat thriller.” —Coventry Evening Telegraph

THE BUTTERFLY TATTOO
“A surprisingly well-written and absorbing thriller…an ideal beach book.” —Birmingham Post

DEATH ON SUNSET
“With s*x, violence, dialogue-with-attitude, and a cast list to die for, this is in the Oscar class.” —Northern Echo

Many thanks to Steven Steinbock at Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine for the great review of Tim Sandlin's new novel LIT!

"The book is branded as 'a subversive take on a cozy mystery,' which is about as good a description as I can come up with, considering the small-town setting and the colorful cast of characters. LIT is a fun and entertaining bibliophile romp."
