About This Item
London: Headline, 1988. First edition. Cloth. Fine/Fine. 8.5" by 5.5". None. A very smart first edition of this exciting Superintendent Otani novel from Melville, signed by the author. First edition. Signed by the author to the title page. The tenth Superintendent Otani novel. When the body of young Dutch pharmaceutical management trainee, Marianna van Wijk, is discovered in the burned-down headquarters of the local mob, there are many questions. The most curious of all, is why she had a photograph of Otani's family in her pocket. Written by James Melville, the pseudonym of Roy Peter Martin, an English author known for his set of thirteen novels featuring Superintendent Otani. In the original black cloth binding. Externally, excellent. Original unclipped dust wrapper is also excellent. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean throughout. Fine
