The Strange Case of Mr Pelham
First published in 1957 The Strange Case of Mr Pelham is Anthony Armstrong's masterclass in suspense, a slow-burning examination of one man's descent into paranoia. Filmed several times for television in both the UK for the BBC, and in the US as an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Armstrong’s Pelham eventually hit the big screen in 1970 as the movie The Man Who Haunted Himself, starring Roger Moore. Reissued here for the first time in more than half a century, this classic period piece is set to bring one of the great 20th century thriller writers to a new generation of admirers.
Snowdon
'The most sensational book on the Royal Family in recent times' Sunday Telegraph 'Offers a fascinating insight into not just his life but the social mores of the day' Evening Standard How did a photographer who was a relentless playboy, an unashamed womaniser and a leather-clad motorcyclist marry the Queen's sister and become the Establishment figure Lord Snowdon? The brilliantly talented Antony Armstrong-Jones often humiliated Princess Margaret, yet he was compassionate to the causes he cared about. Since his death in 2017, Snowdon still hasn't escaped the limelight, as more and more is revealed about his wild and intriguing life. Written with exclusive access to Snowdon and the people closest to him, this book uncovers the real man and his times. Addressing the facts behind the myths - the secret courtship of Margaret, the love child born just weeks after the royal marriage, the affairs on both sides, the suicide of one mistress and the birth of an illegitimate son to another - this balanced yet no-holds-barred account of Snowdon's life is essential reading for fans of The Crown and Ma'am Darling.

The Secret Trail (Jimmy Rezaire #2)
Jimmy Rezaire, newly released from prison, opens a Private Inquiry agency and immediately gets drawn into trying to rout a spy ring that has stolen the Murchison bomb sight and plans to smuggle it out of the country to Russia. His one-time girlfriend Vivienne and pal Harry Hyslop (aka H.H.) have been running a shoplifting scam, which adds further complications! "Armstrong's understanding of drama keep the books moving swiftly, while the plot unfolds in snappy dialogue and exposition...the fun is watching Jimmie as he thinks and fights his way out the various deadly traps set by the opposition and the chases in fast, low-slung cars, motor boats, airplanes, and on trains, across rooftops, down foggy roads, through busy London streets, and across the Channel in France." --David L. Vineyard (Mysteryfile.com) "A swiftly moving detective story...should satisfy the most jaded taste." -- Brooklyn NY Daily Eagle
