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.
Las Vegas. The Gomorrah of twentieth-century America. Detective Sergeant Romulus Poe, has been assigned to a crime shocking even in a town known for its excesses; the murder of a young showgirl whose horrifically mauled body, Poe realises, has echoes of a thirty-year-old unsolved case. But the anxieties of the present quickly overshadow the half-forgotten past, for Poe discovers that his partner on the case, Steve Jensen, had a clandestine relationship with the murdered woman. And Poe’s own relationship with Jensen’s wife, Alison, is far from straightforward; childhood playmate, teenage lover, adult friend and mainstay, Poe has never disentangled himself from the emotional ties that Alison, afflicted with anorexia and a habitually unfaithful husband, exerts. But as Poe watches Alison’s tortured struggles with her own body, he begins to wonder whether her obsessive research into what went on in the Nevada desert three decades earlier might hold a key to the identity of the frighteningly animalistic murderer still at large...
