For now we're going to reissue all the Factory novels plus
Nightmare In The Street, which as Mark correctly notes was
written between How The Dead Live and Dora Suarez and clearly
sees him working up to Suarez. Sick Transit we're unlikely to
ever reprint. Derek/Robin didn't want it reprinted and though
my French isn't great I can see why. It was the first book he
wrote after his 'sabbatical' and it was really just an
exercise to get him back into writing. Much better to read
the pre-sabbatical books which are all in their different
ways really good. Public Parts In Private Places is probably
the most noir of them.
