Colour illustrated dustwrapper with white coloured titles to the front panel and black coloured titles to the back strip. Julian Linchcombe is the heir to the Earl of Linchcombe's estate; and, has the most remarkable voice. On a trip to Italy his uncle has organised for him to witness a miracle; and, then to have a fishing trip with a local. Julian is lowered to run away, and a massive search ensues. Then a body is found in a fishing net tangled and broken. A sinister plot is un-covered, involving kidnap, murder and fraud with the questions why has Julian been milled away? For his voice, and, just who was found in the fishing net dead? Rubbing of the back strip edges with some softening of the top edge. Uniform light tanning of the text block edges with a few faint foxing spots present. A stain to the front end pages. Age toning of the pages.

There is a similar sized tear to the top fold over crease of the rear panel, again, supported with tape on the verso. A little browning to the verso of the dustwrapper.
