About this Item
1st ed. lightly soiled with minor wear along edges else very good in dust jacket, chipped at head and foor of spine, with a one long tape repaired tear at front, not price clipped, $3.50 price intact, in protective mylar cover. Set in upstate New York. For years the Delevan family image reflected only the best of everything - wealth, position, influence, and the kind of expensive good looks that take generations to cultivate. No one dared suspect that their glittering façade, their cherished privacy masked hidden lusts, furtive pleasures and twisted dreams that would soon erupt into a pattern of strange violence that threatened to destroy them all. Macdonald drew praise from such literary greats as Kurt Vonnegut and Stephen King, who declared him to be 'the great entertainer of our age, and a mesmerizing storyteller'. Seller Inventory # 006539
