Duckworth publishing 'Houdini and Conan Doyle' in the UK

Gerald Duckworth & Co. will be publishing Christopher Sandford's new book about Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the UK on October 20, 2011, a full month before the U.S. release.

Judging by the listing on Amazon and the cover art (right), it appears the title in the UK will just be Houdini and Conan Doyle. In the U.S., where the book is do to be released by Palgrave Macmillan on November 22, the title is Masters of Mystery: The Strange Friendship of Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini.

I'm very excited about this one! I'm even more excited that I'll be able to get the book earlier than expected.

You can pre-order Houdini and Conan Doyle (UK edition) by Christopher Sandford at Amazon.co.uk. The U.S. edition can be pre-ordered here.
