Bloomsbury Reader actively welcomes approaches from other Estates keen to see an author’s work returned to circulation.

B&N has these for $4.65, Amazon mostly for $7.19, although some are $4.65, so I wouldn't surprised if they eventually price match all of these; Kobo $7.39 (minus any available coupons). None at Sony (yet?) and a few at BooksOnBoard for $7.55 and $8.94.

Gavin Lyall

Gavin Tudor Lyall (9 May 1932 - 18 January 2003) was an English author of espionage thrillers.

Lyall's first seven novels in the 1960s and early 1970s were action thrillers with different settings around the world. The Most Dangerous Game (1963) was set in Finnish Lapland, and was meticulously researched with local details. The film rights to Midnight Plus One (1965), in which an ex-spy is hired to drive a millionaire to Liechtenstein were purchased by actor Steve McQueen, who had planned to adapt it to the cinema before he died. Shooting Script (1966) is about a former RAF pilot hired to fly a camera plane for a filming company is set around the Caribbean. The protagonists of Judas Country (1975) are again former RAF pilots, and the setting is now in Cyprus and the Middle East...Lyall won the British Crime Writers' Association's Silver Dagger award in both 1964 and 1965. In 1966-67 he was Chairman of the British Crime Writers Association. Lyall was not a prolific author, attributing his slow pace to obsession with technical accuracy.
