About This Item
N.Y.: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1959. First edition. Light wear at edges ele about fine in dust jacket, sunned at spine, lightly soiled. "Fiction based on fact, this is a most unconventional and intriguing book. It deals with the violent and mysterious death of a formidable New England lady which occurred almost fifty years ago in an isolated coastal village. Returning to "Quahog Point" today (virtually unchanged since Victorian times), Mr. Roscoe picks his way into the past, eventually to solve the old mystery. He carries out his investigations with so much relish for New England oddity and Victorian atmosphere that he has accomplished much more than the sleuthing of an old cause celebre: he has created a wonderfully colorful period piece." -- jacket flap.. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good-Near Fine/Very Good. Illus. by The Strimbans. Book.
