I'm currently on a vintage reading binge and fast running out of space once again on my bookshelves. Pretty soon, I'll be having to buy another shelf or two - though where I'll put them - who knows?

I do have an affinity for British police procedurals. Admittedly, this particular book is one of the grittier entries in the bunch.
