About This Item
216 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter red cloth with gilt lettering to spine over beige boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. The author of the highly acclaimed The False Inspector Dew and The Sergeant Cribb and Constable Thackeray mysteries presents a tense and gripping crime novel about a lonely college professor who is haunted by the arrest and murder conviction of a G.I. in World War II England. Theo, a university lecturer, has his early life brought uncomfortably back when, in 1964 he is approached by an American girl called Alice. She wants to be told about her father, a GI hanged for murder in Somerset during World War II. As a boy, Theo had been a principal witness for the prosecution. Alice persuades him to revisit the farm where Theo was evacuated. She is too young to have known her father, but is staunchly determined to discover the true facts. The horrors of the past take on a frightening immediacy when another murder is committed. Condition: Previous owner's embossed imprint on front end paper, page ends dusty else a very good copy in a near fine jacket.
