About This Item
367 pages. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's black cloth with silver lettering to spine over blue boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. When Mike McCleary is shot one morning while jogging, Quin's investigation into the shooting thrusts her into the upper echelons of Palm Beach society. She encounters a Chilean fisherman, Alejandro Domingo, whose healing abilities have attracted numerous wealthy clients in Palm Beach, including the wife of a man running for the U.S. Senate. Videos, photos, and printed material all lead to the haunted Chilean, whose sister and daughter have disappeared en route to South America. Quin's investigation, with the help of fellow operative John Tark, himself a man with a dark past in South America, leads to the place where Alejandro plies his powers. Condition: slightly cocked else a near fine copy in a fine jacket.
