Front and rear panels of dustwrapper bright. ***189 pages. 224 mm x 140 mm. ***'The terribly mutilated body of a man is recovered from the wreckage of a car involved in a night-time collision with a freight train. Not only is the body initially identified from documents from documents as being that of an unemployed waiter named Johnson - known to have died months earlier and now apparently miraculously resurrected from his grave to die once again - but it is also diagnosed this time as having died violently hours before the collision. ****Detective Superintendent Roger's critical thinking leads him to a correct identification of the body as that of an eminent consultant in obstetrics and gynecology with a reputation for lusting after any woman who is not his wife. The subsequent post-mortem findings persuade Rogers that the body had been driven to the rail crossing and left there to be hit by the next train to come along.' ***'Jonathan Ross is the pseudonym of John Rossiter, an ex-detective Chief superintendent of Police who is now a full-time writer living in Wiltshire.' ***'Splendidly direct and sinewy writing makes every page meatily enjoyable. The Police procedural at its very best --- written with an authority in every phrase that keeps you glued.' H. R. F. Keating, The Times (Quote and general review quote from rear of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the true first edition in its original dustwrapper in nice collectable condition. ***Uncommon.***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 3523
