Penguin published a lot of these in the past (in paper); have the right reverted, I wonder? The author died in 1994.

Wiki says: In 2007, his estate transferred all of Stewart's copyrights and other legal rights to Owatonna Media, from whom they were acquired in 2009 by Coolabi plc. This included Michael Innes, Eric Ambler and John Creasey. So, there ya go.

The House of Stratus paperback editions were very fine productions - in terms of proofreading & editing. I hope the same files are being used for the ebook versions.
