About This Item

LONDON.COLLINS CRIME CLUB,1992.UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn. FINE/FINE.No owner inscrptn,and no price-clip to dw/dj.Colour, photographic upper wrap,white with black letters publisher advert to rear wrap.Minimal shelf-wear and negligible creases to dw/dj edges - no nicks or tears present.Top edge very lightly dust-soiled,fore-edge clean, contents bright,tight and pristine.Immaculate plain red paper-covered boards with bright,crisp, stamped gilt letters to spine/backstrip and immaculate plain white eps.UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn,1-192pp. On the spring day when Owen Burgess left his television producer,he was full of optimism.Shortly he was to meet a wealthy Texan who was an avid secret collector of fine art.If Burgess played it right he could see a lifelong ambition realized while also indulging in an overdue act of revenge.In addition there was the provoking memory of Sally Trent,a prospective employee for the Gallery he ran with his partner.His immediate attraction to her confirmed that he was tiring of his present mistress,Dinah Calder.The fact that Sally was happily married would be no bar to his plans.During the summer,as Burgess developed his schemes,others were taking a long,harsh view of him.Ruth Lyle's loathing was overwhelming: she saw Burgess as responsible for her husband's violent death.Jack Calder knew there could be no reconciliation with his wife while Burgess remained on the scene.And Louise Burgess was being toppled from the neutral stance she had long ago adopted regarding her husband's activities.Now she could not endure seeing her friends sacrificed one by one to his ambition.By autumn,Burgess was so well advanced with a fraudulent scheme that he failed to observe the depth of displeasure around him.His judgement seldom failed - but this time he had made a fatal error. Devon-based author's debut crime novel.
