Beschreibung

First UK edition - first impression - a Gerhard Self Mystery - translated from the German by Rebecca Morrison. ***Very good in black cloth-covered boards with silver titles to the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked. No bumps or creases. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. The book would be described as near fine except for some foxing affecting the page block edges - particularly to the fore-edge (please see scans). Internally near fine with no inscriptions. Pages clean with just some foxing spots to a few bottom corners. No creases or tears. ***In a near fine illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of �12.99. The dustwrapper is complete, with no discernible flaws. No creases, chips or tears. No fading. Dustwrapper bright. ***222mm x 144mm. 248 pages. ***'Bernhard Schlink (born 6 July 1944) is a German lawyer, academic, and novelist. He is best known for his novel "The Reader", which was first published in 1995 and became an international bestseller. He won the 2014 Park Kyong-ni Prize.' (Wiki) ***'"Self's Punishment" is a gripping detective story with real depth, and it heralds the arrival of a complex, charming and spirited hero.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A very good copy, albeit with the edge foxing, of the true first UK edition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Sixty-eight years old; a smoker of Sweet Aftons, a dedicated drinker of Aviateur cocktails, and the owner of a charismatic cat named Turbo, Gerhard Self is a somewhat unconventional private detective. During the war he was a Nazi state prosecutor, and he is still haunted by the memories of his misguided youth. His usual cases involve insurance investigations - such as the case of the ballet dancer who may or may not have deliberately broken his leg in order to claim compensation - and he shares them over games of Doppelkopf with his friends: a chessmaster, an ornithologist and a surgeon. So when Self is summoned by his long-time friend and rival Korten to investigate several incidents of computer-hacking at a chemicals company, he finds himself dealing with an unfamiliar kind of crime, and one that throws up many challenges for the computer-illiterate detective. But in his search for the hacker and his attempts to prevent a hazardous chemical leak, Self stumbles upon something far more sinister. His investigation eventually unearths dark secrets that have been hidden for decades, and forces Self to confront his own demons of guilt, responsibility and loyalty.
