About This Item
New York: St. Martin's Press, 1995. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. The second novel in King's mystery series featuring San Francisco lesbian homicide detective, Kate Martinelli, and the sequel to the Edgar Award-winning, "A Grave Talent." This time it's a bibliomystery as Kate investigates the murder of a homeless man where the chief suspect is Brother Erasmus, a member of the Brotherhood of Fools, who is sworn to speak and respond to questions only with biblical and literary quotations. A trace of soiling on text edge, o/w boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square; the dustjacket shows a tiny chip in the upper corner of the front panel and some very minor edgewear, no tears or creases, not price-clipped. Collectable.
Synopsis
