Meanwhile, my most recent title in Britain -
PAINTING IN THE DARK
- published by The Do Not Press -
has already been reprinted in both hardback and paperback.
- The book's a mere £7.50 and there are details and reviews on the Painting In The Dark page.
Order one now (please!)
You must order, I'm afraid, because most bookshops don't stock anything other than the "sure-fire" list - which, amazingly, does not include Russell James, even though the hardback is in its third reprint and the paperback in its second. Nevertheless, bookshops do want to sell books, and will be really pleased to order for you.

Other News:
The French translation of COUNT ME OUT is now out in France, under the title MAUVAIS COUPS (which roughly translates as Hard Knocks. This is a first rate translation by the excellent Jean-Francois Le Ruyet, and the book is published by L'Atalante.
I'm still asked occasionally about my novels published in German:
Series Editor, Martin Compart, well-known in both the publishing and film world, put together a list to die for. Attractively formatted, with stunning dark covers.
UNDERGROUND was released first
PAYBACK followed in June 1999
SLAUGHTER MUSIC in late 1999
but COUNT ME OUT, although bought and paid for, fell foul of a decision within Dumont to cut short the overall series. The book may come out in Germany one day, but meanwhile, you'll have to read the book in either French or English.
