Add to basketPublication: London, Constable & Company Limited, 1989 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 224. Condition Report: Near Fine. The binding is tightly secured and perfectly square, exhibiting sharp corners and unblemished spine ends with scarcely any shelf-wear. The text block is exceptionally crisp, featuring only the very faint, uniform edge-tanning that is standard for the paper stock of this period. The dust jacket remains highly vibrant and uncreased, with no chipping or tears, and presents beautifully in a protective clear sleeve. Catalogue Note: A true first edition of the sixth novel in Ormerod's Inspector Richard Patton mystery series. This specific copy features a presentation inscription in black ink on the title page: "To Eileen with love from Roger." The recipient was Eileen Dewhurst, a fellow prolific British mystery and crime writer whose career ran parallel to Ormerod's. Such association copies between contemporary peers in the British crime fiction scene add a notable, factual provenance to the volume. Retired Detective Inspector Richard Patton and his wife Amelia have their peaceful life interrupted when Ameliaâ s old college friend contacts her out of the blue. Following a mysterious burglary where seemingly nothing of value was taken, the situation quickly devolves into a complex murder investigation. Patton finds himself reluctantly pulled back into the world of crime-solving, forced to navigate academic rivalries, hidden motives, and his own loyalty to his wife's friend to uncover the truth.
