Dalton Quayle and the Bric-a-Brac Man
The esteemed gentleman adventurer Dalton Quayle and his colleague Dr Humphrey Pemberton are back... and in two all-new yarns to entertain you.
With painful puns and knowing winks, from the obvious too the less-so, you'll love Dalton's Snow Joke and his trifling time with the Bric-a-Brac Man.
Transcribed from the pages of Dr Pemberton's diary by Mr Paul Kane, with an introduction from Mr Guy Adams, this is a strictly limited edition paperback of 100 copies (numbered and signed by Paul Kane) with a mass-market ebook to follow.

"Those familiar with Paul Kane’s work will know him as a tenth level master in the way of the joke." - Tom Holt
"If you miss the turn into Baker Street you just might find yourself here. Ripping yarns with a spiffing sense of fun!" - Simon Clark
And what the Press say about Quayle's earlier collection, Rides Out:
"[L]ike being machine-gunned with silliness... We reckon Quayle deserves to ride again!’" - Death Ray magazine
"This book is mad – quite, quite mad. It’s H P Lovecraft: the Carry On version." - Shroud Magazine
