The Arsenal Stadium Mystery
Welcome to GCR Books, home of The Arsenal Stadium Mystery. Many Arsenal supporters may already be familiar with this story from the 1939 film version which is available on DVD and occasionally shown on UK domestic television. However, Leonard Gribble's original book has been out-of-print for more than 60 years and copies of the first edition and subsequent reprints are rare and, assuming you're lucky enough to find one, very expensive.
I discovered the existence of the book around twenty years ago but didn't buy my first copy until 2003. Having read the book and realized that it has long been out-of-print I set about trying to get it republished for the current generation of Arsenal supporters to enjoy. The creation of GCR Books is the realisation of this dream.
The Arsenal Stadium Mystery was the first football-related thriller and enjoys something akin to cult status in football-book circles. It's of obvious interest to Arsenal supporters but as the story is primarily a murder-mystery it will also be an enjoyable read for lovers of a good, old-fashioned "whodunit".
The book is currently only available through www.cpibookdelivery.com and is priced at GBP12.95 plus P&P. The first four pages of the book are available here for you to read.
