About This Item

London, England: MacLehose Press/Quercus, 2014. First Edition. First Printing.. Hardcover. As New/As New Dust Jacket.. London, England: MacLehose Press/Quercus, 2014. Hardcover. As New/As New. First Edition/First Printing. 620 pages. The author's breakthrough debut novel. One of the most sensational literary debuts of our time. Limited Edition of 500 stamped, numbered, and signed copies. Should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, including both the British and American trade editions. Published in a small limitation that sold out shortly after publication. The Limited Edition is now scarce. Presents Joel Dicker's "The Truth About The Harry Quebert Affair" in a felicitous English translation. A global bestseller, the Number One bestselling novel in Europe of the year. "A dazzling thriller: Stunningly original and brilliantly plotted, down to the very last twists. It's a murder mystery, a literary puzzle, and a love story, all ingeniously woven into a masterly novel of suspense. Joel Dicker is an enormous talent, and this book is extraordinary" (The New York Times). Joel Dicker is Swiss, but spent his childhood in the United States. So it's not surprising that his novel is set in New Hampshire and involves two generations of writers, one of whom is accused of murder. The success of his debut is the stuff of legend. An absolute "must-have" title for Joel Dicker collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, stamped, indicated, and numbered as such on the title page. It is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Joel Dicker. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The American Edition is a cheaply produced paperback, and was released after the British Edition. There is no comparison between the beautiful, collectible British Edition and its American "reading copy" counterpart. A rare signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER COPY OF THIS TITLE IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0857053094.

A fresh breath of air. It looks improbable that such a young author could have so deep a knowledge of human feelings and relations.
