Many of his books are also available as audiobooks. In addition, a number of books has been published as omnibuses, containing two or three novels. These are value for money.
[30.04.03]A must for
the reader of modern crime novels, The
Mammoth Encyclopedia of Modern Crime Fiction gives a encyclopedic view
of post-war crime fiction. For non-English readers it is a drawback that very
little non-English material is included, but it is a great fountain of facts
about English language authors. Its scope is strictly crime, leaving thrillers
out - it still fills 780 pages, so you'll have more than enough to read.

Encyclopedias or Mammoth
Books of a surprisingly wide range of subjects - Erotic photography, Shaggy
Dog stories, Murder and Science and so on....
