Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Publication: London, Constable & Company Limited, 1989 Formatting: 8vo, pp. [vi], 191. Condition Report: Near Fine. The dark cloth binding remains impeccably tight, square, and firm, demonstrating no leaning or rolling. The corners are sharp and the spine ends show only the most microscopic hints of shelf-bumping, with the gilt spine lettering remaining unoxidised and bright. Internally, the pages are crisp and exceptionally clean, devoid of any foxing, thumbing, or dog-ears, displaying only the faintest uniform age-toning. The original dust jacket is remarkably vibrant, unclipped, and free of notable chipping or tearing; it presents beautifully, retaining deep, unfaded colours across its starry backdrop, with only a negligible trace of edge-wear along the extreme upper margin of the spine panel. An exceptional, carefully preserved collector's copy. Catalogue Note: True first edition, first printing, issued as part of the highly regarded Constable Crime imprint. The book features a notable dual signature from the author. It boasts a standard authorial signature directly upon the title page, which is preceded by a warm presentation inscription to the front free endpaper reading, "For Eileen / With Love / Roger. / March 1989." Such contemporaneous presentation copies, inscribed in the exact month and year of the book's initial release, provide an excellent chronological anchor and are highly desirable within the genre collector's market. While Ormerod was a prolific author of the British police procedural and mystery genres, finding his hardcover first editions in such crisp condition, featuring both a presentation inscription and a formal signature, is increasingly uncommon on the open market. When retired Detective Inspector Richard Patton and his wife Amelia receive a desperate, cryptic plea for help scrawled on a crumpled scrap of paper, they find themselves immediately drawn into a treacherous mystery. By the time Patton can act on the distressed message, its sender has already been brutally murdered. Dragged out of a peaceful European retirement, Patton sets out to untangle the truth, only to uncover the disturbing possibility that several of his former police colleagues may be implicated in the cover-up. As the body count rises and the danger circles ever closer to his own wife, Patton must navigate a complex web of deceit where old loyalties are violently tested, and no one can be trusted.
