First edition, first printing. Publisher's pink patterned boards with black titles on white to the spine, in the Bill English designed dustwrapper. Top edge grey. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, bright and fresh with a touch of rubbing at the spine tips and corners. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the very lightly rubbed that has a short closed tear at the top of the front panel and a touch of fading, to the spine. Not price-clipped ($3.00 net to the upper front flap). A very attractive example.
The eighth Lew Archer detective novel. (Hubin).
