TRP on the front page ... (spoliers alert!)

[Richard Ryan]

Cute.





The clue "They all had books out this year" - hard to read but there at
the top of the page - is not so helpful to us Yanks, since with the
exception of OBA these writers appear to be Brits. 





Still, I was able to get all but one:





1.  To pat + a barking creature = Pat Barker


2.  Grey + ham + swift (the bird) = Graham Swift


3.  ?


4.  E + hen + banks (of a river)= Iain Banks


5.  Dick (as in a detective) + France + S = Dick Francis


6.  Tom  (male cat) + Ass + to pinch + N = Thomas Pynchon  





3 has me stumped.  There's a bird that I can't identify; a Spanish
cleric (Dom?), and then an antique steam roller moving forward (to
roll? to flattern? to pave?)

Foax:

A couple of pics (sorry, I don't have a scanner) of the front page of the Saturday Times Books section featuring some Simon Drew puzzles. The last caught my attention.
