Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly bruised, not price clipped (£10.95), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 277pp. On the night he returns from Greece, archaeologist Paul Van Damm is found murdered in his home. The police pronounce him the victim of a burglary, and immediately accuse the son of the Van Damm's housekeeper, Manuel Garcia. But attorney and self styled sleuth Dade Cooley thinks his old friend Paul is a late casualty of war, the Trojan War. Dade takes on the defence case of Manuel and becomes determined to understand the truth behind the façade of a happy and short lived marriage between Paul and the glamorous Greek actress, Sophie Galanos. As Cooley does some archaeology of his own, he slowly unearths a modern day Greek tragedy in which Van Damm is only the first to die. Surrounded by a solemn chorus of suspects, Dade Cooley digs deeper into a world of classical scholarship, criminal intent, secrecy, and deceit. And at the heart of it all, somehow responsible, is Helen of Troy herself. By American screen writer and detective novelist Gene Thompson (1925-2001). Seller Inventory # 009495
