The Story of My Disappearance is set in the sea-soaked landscape of New England in which Paul Watkins has lived and worked as a deep-sea fisherman. It is a world of savage beauty, sudden violence and death. For the main character, Paul, the fishing community provides a safe haven from a past he cannot forget. His apparently settled existence is a piece of carefully orchestrated camouflage cloaking memories lurking fathoms deep within his psyche; memories which rise to the surface to haunt him. The brutal intrusion into this life of a figure from his past intent on revenge, brings him face to face with his turbulent history, and throws his whole existence into jeopardy.

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Artikel-Nr. mon0000096360
