This is interesting, not just because the first link
claims to be a paperback. At Amazon.co.uk -- as checked on 11 June --
the book is by Heaney, and Graham Joyce is mysteriously noted as the
#1 popular author in this category (whatever that might be ... memoirs
of master forgers?). At Amazon.com the identical ISBN is listed as the
imported Ascent of Demons -- a title which seems to fit Memoirs
quite well -- by Graham Joyce. Draw your own conclusions!
