Signed by author on FFEP: "Theodore Roscoe Block Island, R.I. 1962/good: offset on front cover (likely from storage/stacking), closed tears, clipped. 8vo 241pp. from front flap: "Fiction based on fact, this is a most unconventional and intriguing book. It deals with the violent and mysterious death of a formidable New England lady which occurred almost fifty years ago in an isolated coastal village. Returning to "Quahog Point" today (virtually unchanged since Victorian times), Mr. Roscoe picks his way into the past, eventually to solve the old mystery. He carries out his investigations with so much relish for New England oddity and Victorian atmosphere that he has accomplished much more than the sleuthing of an old cause celebre: he has created a wonderfully colorful period piece." #01022.
