About This Item
New York: St. Martin's Press, 1994. First Edition. . Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. The seventh mystery novel by Friedman, who set this one in the Florida panhandle where she grew up. The story features Isabel Anders, a young, newly-unemployed and unattached artist who learns the great aunt who raised her and from whom she ran away 15 years before has had a serious accident that has incapacitated her. There are no other relatives and Isabel feels compelled to return to Florida where it soon becomes apparent after a second accident that her aunt's accidents are not really accidents at all. First Printing, First Edition. Signed, Inscribed and Dated by Friedman on the title page. Boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket shows a tiny tear on the upper edge of the front panel, and a touch of wear along edges and at corners and spine ends, o/w no chipping or creasing, not price-clipped. A collectable copy of a hard-to-find mystery.
