About This Item
New York: HarperCollins, 1991. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Hitt, a senior editor at "Harper's" magazine, created Tim, a man with a '90s sensibilities and '80s wealth, who, having decided to murder his wife, calls together his "advisors" -- Lawrence Block, Sarah Caudwell, Tony Hillerman, Peter Lovesey and Donald E. Westlake -- to help him decide on the best way to commit the crime without, of course, getting caught. This bibliomystery then, is the advice Tim has received from each individual master mystery writer, providing Tim with five fiendishly clever blueprints for the ideal crime, ranging from exotic jellyfish to mass murder. Top edge of text very lightly foxed, o/w boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket shows a touch of surface-and-edge wear, no tears, no chipping or creasing, not price-clipped. Collectable.
