	`News of Paul Temple'. read by Michael Tudor Barnes. (Unabridged published by Isis Audio) Isis Audio; ISBN 0-7531-0987-5 (March 2001) Meeting the actress Iris Archer for the first time, Paul Temple was impressed with her intelligence and wrote a play, The First Lady Seaton, especially for her. Initially, Iris is thrilled but before the opening suddenly says she must go to France and will give no further explanation. Temple is therefore surprised when she turns up in a small inn in Scotland where he is holidaying with his wife, Steve. And hers is not the only face he recognises in what turns out to be a notably unquiet part of the country. 6 Audio Cassettes 6hrs 30mins Product code IAB010305 ISBN 0-7531-0987-5
	`Paul Temple and the Kelby Affair'. read by Michael Tudor Barnes. (Unabridged published by Isis Audio) Isis Audio; ISBN 0-7531-1224-8 (July 2001) When a statesman's mistress keeps a diary, that's bad. And when she decides to publish it, that's murder. Paul Temple was no historian, but Mr Alfred Kelby was, and it is Kelby who has been killed by someone who obviously wanted that diary very badly indeed. Temple started on the case with a fair amount of trepidation. And what had already seemed a complicated case ran further into the gloom of the past and helped to tumble some pretty important skeletons out of the cupboard of political intrigue. 4 Audio Cassettes 4hrs 21mins Product code IAB010714 ISBN 0-7531-1224-8

The Madison case races at breakneck speed from a luxury liner crossing the Atlantic, to a home-counties mansion, a London nightclub, an unexpected visit to Amsterdam, and a house-boat on the Thames. But who is Madison? And has he really discovered the secret of multimillionaire Sam Portland's lost years? 5 Audio Cassettes 4hrs 20 mins Product code IAB011104 ISBN 0-7531-1312-0
