Description:
Hamlyn Paperbacks, London, 1978. Reprint. Softcover. Fair Condition. Paperback binding with silver and blue coloured titles to the front panel and back strip. This book was the basis of the film starring Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger. The first outing of the African American detective Virgil Tibbs. In the sleepy southern town of Wells, Carolina, a man is found dead on the highway. The local policeman, Sam Wood, checks the deserted railway station and finds a coloured man sitting reading a book with a wallet full of money. Sam laughs when the young man claims that he earned the money in California as a police officer! He has just met Virgil Tibbs, and he finds himself in the unusual position of having an African American police officer in charge of the investigation, in a bigoted southern town in the early 1960s. The book is showing age and wear. Multiple creasing to the book corners and there is a creased that runs the full length of the front panel. Heavy rubbing along the back strip edges…
