The Wooden Overcoat(Classic Crime S.)

Format: Paperback

Condition: Poor Condition — £26.50
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.

Clifford Flush founded the Asterisk Club in Chelsea to provide a home for wrongfully acquitted murderers, being one himself. Qualified prospective members need only to name the club as beneficiary in their wills in order to avail themselves of its comforts and unique services. Unfortunately, there isn't room at the club for Benji Cann, a gentleman's outfitter newly acquitted --to his great surprise-- of murdering his mistress. So Flush arranges for Benji to be temporarily quartered next door in a rat-infested house inhabited by two artistic couples. When Benji and a female member of the Asterisk Club turn up dead, the two households both have reason to avoid the police and dispose of the bodies.
