Two new paperback editions are released by Penguin USA this month with introductions by Grayson Carter and Janice Hallett. §
Grayson Carter writes about Angel Pavement – ‘ Priestley anticipates what lies ahead in the age of corporate raiders…the novel is a remarkable piece of urban anthropology…if you want to understand what it felt like to be an ordinary Londoner in 1930, the is as good a novelistic source as you’re going to find.’
“One of the very finest and darkest London novels”– Financial Times
Janice Hallett says of Salt is Leaving -‘ It remains a surprisingly modernist work that resonates clearly in the twenty-first century- and not just because the so-called cosy crime whodunnit is still as popular as ever .’
” Priestley offers the best of the detective genre…it has a zip and freshness that sets it apart”- Victoria Advocate
