Cloth. Zustand: Near Fine. 1. Publication: New York, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1984 Formatting: 8vo, pp. [vi], 215. Condition Report: Near Fine. The binding remains remarkably tight and square, featuring crisp, clean boards free of notable shelf-wear or bumping to the extremities. Internally, the pages are uniformly bright and co…mpletely devoid of foxing, dampstaining, or handling marks, presenting an exceptionally clean text block. The hinges are perfectly sound without any signs of starting. The original unclipped dust jacket is wonderfully preserved under a protective mylar wrapper, retaining its vibrant colors and glossy finish without any discernible sunning, rubbing, or edge-wear, save for the most microscopic friction at the spine ends. A superlative, collector's-grade copy. Catalogue Note: First United States Edition of Ormerod's complex procedural, originally published in the United Kingdom under the titleÂFace Value (1983). This specific copy possesses notable literary provenance, serving as an association copy between two established mystery authors of the same era. It is inscribed in blue ink on the title page by Ormerod to the acclaimed British crime and mystery writer Eileen Dewhurst: "To Eileen / With affection / Roger." Copies of Ormerod's works in such sharp condition are uncommonly encountered on the open market, and the addition of a colleague's presentation inscription makes this a pleasing acquisition for the dedicated genre collector. A masterclass in suspense and misdirection, The Hanging Doll Murder delivers a tightly woven web of clues, red herrings, and emotional conflict. The mystery unravels following a macabre discovery: a child's doll meticulously hung from a barren tree with a hangman's noose, its neck broken and a tuft of black hair attached to its chin. Praised by British critics as an "altogether taut piece of excitement," Ormerod's procedural keeps readers thoroughly off-balance until the final revelation. N/A (illustrator).
