About This Item
New York: Viking Penguin, 2002. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. The 16th book in Langton's widely-praised mystery series featuring retired detective, Homer Kelly, and his wife, Mary. This time, the Kelly's offer to help a friend find a woman met at an M.C. Escher exhibition, becomes a search akin to finding themselves in an Escher labyrinth etching as they uncover murders of the past, modern secrets, fortune tellers and ghosts of Cambridge, MA's, Mt. Auburn Cemetery. Langton, known for the drawings she contributes to her novels, shares artist's billing this time with reproductions of some of Escher's work. Boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket shows only minor rubbing and a slight bit of edgewear, no tears, no chipping or creasing, not price-clipped. Collectable.
