Black paper wrapped boards with bright and bold gilt titles to spine; spotless, with slight wear to extremities. Binding tight & solid, square. Internals in Fine Condition. Unclipped dust jacket with painting by Alan Baker. Jury meets Harry Johnson in the Old Wine Shades--he's a friendly guy and meets Jury regularly after that. He spins out a story of a good friend of his whose wife and son (and dog) disappeared one day when they were in Surrey. No trace, no clue, nothing to help find out what happened to them. Harry is a genius, or sounds like it, on quantum mechanics and superstring theory. Jury wonders if he is being wound-up-are these stories for real? The dog did come back--but how? and from where? When Jury investigators, all seems to be as Harry described it--until they find the body. 296 pages. 8vo. 2007, Viking Penguin.
