Description:
First UK edition 1st printing, the 1985 Edgar winning title, Near Fine book flawed by uncut final two pages; these were opened badly resulting in a small closed tear and small chip to last page edge, while next to last page edge has a 3/4 by 1/4 inch triangular shaped chip, slight page edge toning, in a Near Fine jacket that is lightly sunned on spine with two very light, unobtrusive, overwrite lines on front panel. Signed by Wright on the title page. Very rare with price (flap shows pounds 9.50 net) and very rare signed by Wright.
