Found a decent and very cheap reading copy.<br /><br />Also, did you discover if the writer's name is a pseudonym? I did some Googling trying to find his bibliography and among the search results was a page on a town in Scotland called Laurencekirk. At one time it was two words, but now it's one. Same spelling as this writer's name.
