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.

NEW FROM BRASH BOOKS! The witty, outrageously entertaining spy novel, hailed by The Observer as “a very lively and readable, ultra-s*xy spy thriller,” written by Barry Norman, the beloved, hugely popular BBC movie critic, TV host and journalist.

It’s the 1960s, deep into the chill of the Cold War. Paul Baker is abducted off the streets of London by a mysterious espionage agency and drafted into being a amateur spy for her Majesty. His mission: travel undercover to Madrid to see if an ex-Cabinet Minister is selling military secrets to the Russians. Baker doesn’t have a license to kill, or any idea what he’s doing… and quickly finds himself targeted for both seduction and death without the training to survive either situation.

This edition includes a new introduction by Mike Ripley, author of "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang."

DEATH ON SUNSET by Barry Norman is the razor-sharp third and final novel in beloved BBC film critic Barry Norman’s hard-boiled Bobby Lennox series, a story the Birmingham Post says “positively glitters. Gorgeously entertaining.”

London boxer-turner-fixer Bobby Lennox is sent to Hollywood as an “associate producer” by a crime boss to oversee his investment in a troubled, big-budget movie. The trouble is that the Mafia-controlled studio is trying to muscle in on the action…and it isn’t long before bodies start dropping and Bobby has to stop the bloodshed…while also keeping the cameras rolling.

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

“Barry Norman, he of the sardonic film reviews, effects a neat, hard-boiled narrative voice in this fluffy crime thriller.” The Evening Standard

The second wild and witty Bobby Lennox adventure by legendary UK TV host and critic Barry Norman.

Bobby Lennox is an ex-boxer, reluctant “fixer,” and a struggling London entrepreneur who does favors for Donovan, a crime boss angling for respectability. One way Donovan hopes to get it is by helping Archie Beckway, a womanizing, corrupt politician who is being blackmailed by three people dressed as Disney characters… one of whom has a butterfly tattoo on her shapely leg. But the assignment isn’t as clear-cut as it seems, and twists right back to Donovan’s doorstep.

THE BUTTERFLY TATTOO was originally published in the U.K. as "The Mickey Mouse Affair," but in the U.S. under its present title.

"Sandlin is a national treasure. If you're looking for the comic heir to Charles Portis, look no further. LIT finds him at the top of his game, as droll, observant, and breezy as ever." —Jonathan Evison, author of The Heart of Winter

"What a joy to read. This dude can write." —Linwood Barclay, New York Times bestselling author
