Condition: Standard Secondhand — £1.81
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.

Here is the complete collection of Peter Robinson's short crime tales, including a private-eye story set in Florida, a romantic Parisian mystery and the modern classic, Innocence, winner of the Crime Writer of Canada's Best Short Story Award. This volume also includes three stories featuring the renowned Inspector Banks, and the first ever Banks novella.With each turn of the page in this heart-thumping collection readers will be surreptitiously watching the door. For within it we discover that the contents of our lives are not always as faithful as they seem. Friends, lovers, neighbours, enemies, the conscience we thought we had, the dark we thought we trusted... there are secrets and surprises lurking in every creak of the floorboards.Whether he writes pure detective stories or heartbreakingly noir tales. Peter Robinson is one of the crime world's finest stylists. This is a collection that will explore our hidden paranoia, challenge all that we take for granted, lure us to new, exotic places only to wish we could run back home, and keep us up all night just waiting for the safety of the dawn... --
