About This Item
NY: Atheneum, 1981. This book has been rebound in maroon cloth, stamped in gold. Hence, a restored copy. Dustwrapper shows a bit of darkening to bottom of spine (presumedly from a label removal). Book and dustwrapper are tight and clean. Hence, a very attractive first edition of this, the author's first mystery to be penned in his real name and the first collaboration with Montalbano. Better than a place saving copy -- priced accordingly. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
