The more I think about this, the more annoyed I am. This looks like a classic case of a publisher clinging on to a backlist (to prevent it being published elsewhere) but doing sod all to promote it and actively discouraging new sales. Penguin could do for Rendell what HC does for Christie, but, no?

Sorry, but since when was this a "deal"? And seriously, @penguinbooks.bsky.social, £20 fir a mass market paperback?!!
