Public investigations

Private Investigations has been released. It is out there, officially, and selling like churros, as they say in Spain.

I’ve just completed a short series of events, curtailed so I can start on the next Skinner. As always, when I do these things, I find myself being moved, in the most surprising and unexpected ways. By George Rattray, who went to great lengths to get to the West End yesterday and arrived bearing gift: by the lady in WHS who made me feel famous: by Dr Johann Dvorak, from Vienna, who just happened to be passing: by the guy with the motor cycle helmet, who bought a book for his mum, then tore straight off to the Royal Infirmary to delivere it; and by the impeccably mannered little girl in the pink dress who approached me at the signing table and asked, very politely, if I had any books by Michael Morpurgo. (I didn’t but I knew a man who had.)

To all of them and to all of you, thanks, yet again.

    Living in California I have to get your latest books sent out from the UK . I’m afraid Amazon UK is my best option…sorry about that! Private Investigations is on it’s way and will stop me reading about the ” Tangerine Tornado ” aka Donald Trump for a couple of days!
