1st edition, 2nd printing. 256pp. Green cloth covered boards (worn, rounded at corners and spine ends, a few marks, faded on spine). Lending sheet on front free endpaper, else no other library markings. Internally neat, clean barring a few marks on pages. Tightly bound. In its original dust jacket (rubbed and a little chapped at edges, shelf wear). Dust jacket now in archival-quality mylar wrapper to protect & prolong the life of the jacket. It is not adhered to the book or to the jacket. Sequel to 'Louis Beretti', published 11 years earlier. When the talented but foot-loose son of an ex-underworld potentate invites a choice mob of killers, paranoids and smouldering tarts to his country estate for a "quiet" weekend - with his special girl as bait - the result is bound to be murder...
