A very crisp and clean signed first edition, almost new and unread condition, gift quality! Inscribed by the author on the title page! Dj is nicely preserved in a brand new protective mylar plastic cover! 311 very clean, unmarked and uncreased, suspense-filled and mystery-riddled pages! "There was Frank on the couch, a large hole in his left shoulder.I've never seen a real live dead body. In the myriad British mysteries I've read they tend to be neat lumps with polite wounds. Police procedurals, on the other hand, get very graphic in their descriptions of bodies, and from what I could see and mostly smell, they come closer to the truth." Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

- Mystery
To get her mind off some of her problems, including a relationship that was going nowhere but out-of-town, she breaks into her friend Susan's ex-husband's apartment and takes high tea at the Ritz. Tea leads her into a den of gay cigarette hijackers; the break-in leads to the discovery of a body.
Suddenly, her problem isn't just financing a life of leisure but wondering whether she's going to have to finance a legal defense fund. That she is an Anglophone in a city where English is not only a second but a second-class language does nothing to raise her spirits. In fact, the only thing that seems to be falling faster is the snow. In just a few days, she had gotten a scabby knee, sold out a friend, tampered with evidence, convinced her neighbors she was a hooker, and decided that she had lost the love of her life. Enough was enough; Barbara Simons was about to strike back.
