About This Item
New York: St. Martin's Press, 1995. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. The sequel to King's Edgar Award-winning, "A Grave Talent," again featuring Kate Martinelli, lesbian San Franciso homicide detective, this time investigating the murder of a homeless man in a story that may be considered a bibliomystery as the prime suspect is Brother Erasmus, a member of the Brotherhood of Fools, who speaks only using quotations from the Bible, Shakespeare or other literary sources. Boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square; appears unread; the dustjacket shows only a small crease at the bottom end of the spine, no tears or chipping, not price-clipped. A collectable copy.
Synopsis
