A new edition. 318pp. In red cloth-covered boards with gilt titles on spine. (Boards faded, a little rubbed and rounded at corners and spine tips, patch of fading at head of spine). Pages tanning, else internally clean and neat. Firm and tight binding. In its original dust jacket (chipped and rubbed at edges and folds, sunned on spine with minor loss at spine head, some visible shelf wear). One of Heyer's detective fiction novels. Georgette Heyer, an English novelist and short story writer, effectively established the historical romance genre, and its sub-genre of Regency Romances, and has remained popular among readers since the publication of her first novel, The Black Month, in 1921. Although perhaps best known (and collected) for her Regency Romances, which were written with great attention to historical detail, she also wrote thrillers and detective fiction. We have many of her works in stock, and offer generous discounts to those ordering more than one title at a time - please inquire.
