About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Perigee Books, 1990. First Edition . Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 5" x 8. Grebu, Devis. 108 Pages. Front cover has very minor edge and corner wear. Interior is faultless. First Printing of First Perigee Edition Copyright 1990. Strange things are happening in the town of Puddley, Surrey. An omnipresent figure dressed in dark glasses, Burberry, and trilby hat watches from the end of a lane. A horsewoman's reins are cut. A Noblewoman dies over tarts and cyanide. A waif walks into Dredcumble Moor at night and disappears. A pool of blood spreads over a carpet. Scotland Yard sends its best man, Bygraves, to untangle the mess. Perfectly complemented by Devis Grebu's dark, provocative drawings, this book is a tour de force of chilling wit and briliant literary imagination, from the pen of one of America's greatest mystery writers: a sinister, delightful, wholly original work. Grimes's ten novels are universally acknowledged as literate, witty and stylishly crafted. She has been called a master of casual and telling metaphor and one of the most fascinating mystery writers today.
