About This Item
New York: Arcade Publishing, Inc., 2001. First Printing, First U.S. Edition. . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine to Fine. The third novel in the award-winning Maitland's police procedural series featuring Scotland Yard's Detective Chief Inspector David Brock and Detective Sergeant Kathy Kolla. This time they're investigating the kidnapping of the pretty young wife of a criminal Brock has dealt with in the past. In a strange twist, the ransom notes are decorated with rare Chalon Head stamps of a young Queen Victoria, to whom the kidnapped wife bears an uncanny resemblance. Boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket is close to perfect, perhaps a touch of edgewear at the spine ends, no tears, no creasing or chipping, not price-clipped. A very collectable copy of a top mystery writer still under-appreciated in the U.S.
