Welcome to Battlestar Suburbia, a uniquely subversive science fiction series that will delight fans of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett and Jasper Fforde.

A Yellowthread Street Mystery

Set amidst the urban fantasia of Hong Kong, William Marshall’s Yellowthread Street novels raise crime fiction to a high art form. Surrealistic and suspenseful, vivid in their procedural details and brilliant in their scope, they are the work of a uniquely gifted writer.

The Bandy Papers

Donald Jack’s blackly humorous Bandy Papers are classics of their kind.

When not busy avoiding death, winning medals, or oscillating through ranks like a yo-yo, Bandy spends his time driving his superior officers into apoplectic fits.

A Miss Seeton Mystery
