Columbia, SC: University of South Caroline Press, 2005. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. Baldwin, an award-winning Sourthern writer, uses the violent death of a well-known Charleston, SC, newspaper editor in 1889 at the hands of his neighbor, a disreputable, womanizing doctor, as the basis for an historical novel which examines the social codes that govern the behavior of men and women, not only in the South but universally; boards and text are clean, tight, square; dustjacket's back panel shows some very light scratching and rubbing, light edgewear. Collectable.
