About This Item
Hardcover edition, with dust jacket. Published by Villard Books, 1987. The dust jacket is not price clipped, it has been protected with a clear, removable, library quality cover. First edition, second printing. No writing, no highlighting, no former ownership marks. A clean, square, fresh and unmarked copy. No edge wear to the cover boards. Sturdy dark brown boards over wheat colored cloth covered spine. Nice imprinted design of a hound on the front board, and the author's name and title imprinted in gold on the spine - all crisp and not worn or rubbed. This is a remainder copy though with a red ink swipe on the top edge of the text block. Author Michael Hardwick was only the second man to be honored with "The Sign of the Four" by The Baker Street Irregulars, one of the most prestigious honors for a Sherlockian. His novels are widely considered to be some of the finest Sherlock Holmes stories printed since the death of A. Conan Doyle. We have several Sherlock related listings. The attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory.
Synopsis
A badly mauled tramp and the footprints of a giant hound; the theft of Oliver Cromwell's bones a sinister murder on the channel ferry; an illustrious personage who fears blackmail....It is up to Sherlock Holmes and his brilliant powers of deduction to uncover the pattern connecting these bizzare events.
