About This Item
256 pages. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6") bound in original publisher's quarter purple cloth with silver lettering to spine over blue boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Xenia Smith and Leslie Wetzon are the best executive search consultants on Wall Street. Wetzon, the more trusting, naive partner, meets very edgy client Barry Stark for drinks at the Four Seasons--where she later finds him stabbed to death in a phone booth, herself stuck with his briefcase, and soon hopelessly attracted to homicide cop Silvestri, who seems smitten by man-trap Smith. Can the headhunters hunt down a killer? Condition: Remainder mark at heal end pages, heal corners gently bumped else near fine in a fine jacket.
