It's ideal for him, his partner Aileen, and her three children. Even the attic space seems just right----the perfect place for a game room or a children's retreat. But as Matt and his decorator tour the property, they find something that will put the atttic off-limits for a long time to come: a tiny child's skeleton that has clearly been there for years. What happened to the child, and how did its skeleton get into the attic?". Signed by Author(s). First Edition / Second Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
