About This Item
Harper & Row, 1980. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good DJ. First printing, near fine hardcover shows just a hint of wear, in very good + dust jacket (price at flap) that shows touch of rubbing and soil, very faint wrinkle that extends diagonally across front panel, mild exposure toning along spine and with bit of wrinkling and tiny closed tears at tiop edge. 183 pages. Still a pleasing copy of this novel from the noted author that "..is a suspenseful, enthralling and perfectly orchestrated story..
