Synopsis
To Sarah Hollis and her flatmates a ramshackle villa in the French Pyrenees seemed to offer the perfect holiday: romantic, restful, remote -- that was how the advertisement described the Villa Abercrombie.
Sarah went ahead of the others in her own little car. She reached the villa alone. On the way she had met by chance, a man called Arthur Crook, though she could scarcely believe his assertion, made with hearty and cozy vulgarity, that he was by profession a lawyer. A time would come when Sara would have need of Crook's services. . .
The villa reminded Sarah of the House of Usher, and the events that befall her there revived the terrifying comparisons. Sarah pegged herself a girl of spirit -- and spirit was the quality most needed to save her from the ruthless criminals in whose schemes she became involved.
Set in the deep countryside of France, this exciting story tells of Sarah's dangerous predicament, reveals a complex and wicked plot, and shows Arthur Crook in roaring action to foil the villains.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
