First Edition. Fine cloth copy in a near-fine, very slightly edge-dulled dust wrapper. Remains particularly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and strong. Summary; "Van der Valk is intrigued. It isn't everyday that a quiet housewife is machine gunned down at lunchtime in a block of flats. But the body isn't discovered…until hours later, and by that time, the killer's trail is already getting cold. Van der Valk is left with more than one problem posed by the death of Esther Marx. For not only does she leave behind her a tide of mystery, but also a young daughter, in desperate need of care. Taking little Ruth into his home brings Van der Valk and his wife closer to the enigma of Esther, and even more determined to discover her killer. But there is more to Ester Marx's story than meets the eye. Unravelling her secrets will take Van der Valk on a journey into Esther's hidden past, revealing her to be anything but a simple, innocent, defenceless woman. First published in 1969, Tsing Boum is a classic of the murder mystery genre." Physical Description; 205 pages 21 cm. Subjects; 1900-1999. English fiction. English fiction 20th century. 3 Kg.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good Plus. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 1969. First edition. 205pp. Nicolas Freeling (1927-2003), was a British crime novelist, best known as the author of the van der Valk series of detective novels. In this novel, when Esther Marx is found savagely murdered, mown down by machine-gu…n fire in her lacklustre apartment, the trail leads to the wide, shallow valley of Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam, 1954. Van der Valk investigates. The book is bound in the original purple boards with gold titling on the spine. The book is in very good plus condition with a touch of fading at the bottom of the spine. The contents are tight and clean with the letter 'j' lightly written on the front fixed endpaper. The unclipped dustwrapper (design by Bentley/Farrell/Burnett) has light shelf wear and the spine is slightly faded with light bumping to the spine ends. There is a small bit of chipping to the laminate covering on the top corner and spine ends and about 1/4" of the laminate covering is missing from the bottom front spine corner. A tear of about 1/4" and a nick on the bottom front spine corner have been repaired on the reverse with tape.
