Condition: Standard Secondhand — £15.02
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

A series of unrelated petty crimes culminates in the murder of Judge Sir Leo Farling's houseman in his Cotswold mansion. Could revenge be the motive and Sir Leo the target?

Detective-Superintendent George Thorne of the Thames Valley Police is immediately called in to investigate. As he begins to track the criminals, he is distracted by the mysterious disappearance of his wife Miranda, a crossword puzzle constructor. All the evidence suggests she's gone off with another man, but Thorne is convinced she's been abducted. But by whom? And why? As he struggles to find the answers, he is met at every turn with more troubling information. The shadow of Miranda is everywhere and if the case doesn't crack soon, it seems that Thorne might. The boys down at the station house are convinced he's gone around the bend and the boss would like to see him take a vacation...perhaps a permanent one.
