About This Item
London: Headline, 1991. First UK edition, 1991. Hardback. 309pp. Dust jacket. Was it suicide or was it murder? The clues point in all directions and Richard Jury was amongst the last people known to have seen her alive. Having been romantically involved with the victim, Jury finds himself one of the suspects and temporarily suspended from the Force. The author has rooted the intriguing solution to a modern mystery in the explanation of a past crime. But equally enjoyable are the wonderfully idiosyncratic characters and her vivd evocation of the Lake District. Book in very good condition. Paper a little toned. Dust jacket very good and unclipped. Minor damp staining to foot of spine.
