    If you like your detectives hard-boiled then Sam Spade was your man.   
     
    Originally created by the legendary Dashiell Hammett, Sam Spade’s move from pulp-book thriller to airwave legend seemed an easy journey. 
     
    Sam Spade, played by Howard Duff, was a sharp-talking L. A. based private detective who’s first question usually revolved about how much moola, how much cash, you were carrying. If it was a phone call this was usually accompanied by a desk drawer opening and a liquor bottle being summoned for duty. 
     
    The owner of License number 137596, had a way of not telling the police all the news.  His humor was tongue in cheek and the plots could put a corkscrew to shame.  The characters who came into contact with Sam Spade, Detective were either very glad they had or rather wished they hadn’t.   
     
    If you wanted results in the tightest of corners you had one choice; Sam Spade, Detective.  Let’s see what he’s up to. 
     
    We like to think we always have choices.  Sometimes we only need one.   
     
    Let’s get back and into action with Sam Spade’s next adventure.

    ‘A page turner…and then some!’ Chris Evans 
    ‘An absorbing memoir.’ Classic Rock Magazine 
    ‘A very enjoyable rock-n-roll memoir that is not just for fans, but for anyone interested in this classic era of the British rock scene’ The Afterword 
    A fascinating insight into the golden-age of 1970s and 80s rock and roll told through the eyes of music legend Bernie Marsden and, most notably, his role in establishing one of the world’s most famous rock bands of all time – Whitesnake. 
    ‘A compelling journey in the company of a masterful (and mercifully ego-free) musician. I saved it like a cherished slab of vinyl.’ Ian Rankin 
    Touring with AC/DC. Befriending The Beatles. Writing one of the world’s most iconic rock songs. 
    This is the story of a young boy from a small town who dreamt of one day playing the guitar for a living – and ended up a rock n’ roll legend. 
    It follows Bernie Marsden’s astonishing career in the industry – from tours in Cold War Germany and Franco’s Spain, to meeting and befriending George Harrison and touring Europe with AC/DC. It’s a story of hard graft, of life on the road, of meeting and playing with your heroes, of writing iconic rock songs – most notably the multi-million selling hit ‘Here I Go Again’ – and of being in one of the biggest rock bands of all time. At age 30, Bernie left Whitesnake due to serious conflict with his management, something he explores in this memoir for the very first time. 
    Packed with stories and encounters with the likes of Ringo Starr, Elton John, Cozy Powell, Ozzy Osborne, B.B. King and Jon Lord, this is not just a remarkable look into the highs and lows of being a true music legend, but an intimate account of the revolutionary impact rock and roll music has offered to the world. 
    In Where's My Guitar?, Bernie Marsden takes us on a musical journey, exploring the different styles and genres that have shaped his career. From his individual philosophy on composing to his intimate knowledge of various instruments, this autobiography is a top pick for any music lover. 
    For fans of Graeme Thomson (Themes for Great Cities), Mark Eglinton (Heavy Duty), Pete Way (A Fast Ride Out of Here), Ian Gillan (Ian Gillan), and Francis Rossi (I Talk Too Much).

    Featuring a witty professional woman as the central character of this old-time radio show, Our Miss Brooks was a groundbreaking concept. Audiences could (and continue to) relate to Connie Brooks as a clever, sarcastic, kindhearted teacher. A year before the radio series ended, it had a television, stage play, and film adaptations of the same title.
