Dust jacket has light shelf wear and slight discoloration. Book has light shelf wear. A mystery by the author of An Ad for Murder and Stag Dinner Death. Although not marked in any way, this copy comes from the personal collection of Otto Penzler, legendary editor and founder of the Mysterious Press, an award-winning icon in the genre. 8"x5.5", 185 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Peter Derwent never expected to be shot in the back. He never expected to be shot at all, but to be shot in the back is an especially ignominious way to die. Walking home through the woods after a nasty argument with neighbor Trevor Grayson, Peter is so preoccupied with his financial woes that he hardly notices the thunder and lightning. But then a shot rings out. At first Peter thinks it's just another bolt from the sky. Then he feels the pain. His last thoughts are of his beloved family: wife Lorna, son Richard, daughter Clare, and little Holly. How will they manage without him? How will they find the money to keep Broadfields, the estate that has been in the family for so many years? Murders don't happen in the little Cotswolds town of Colombury. Who could have killed Peter, a man who seemed to have no enemies? True, he'd just had a fight with Trevor Grayson, but Trevor has an alibi. He was eating his housekeeper's excellent scones just as the shot was fired. Detective Superintendent George Thorne is called in to investigate, to probe the past to understand the present. Why was Peter so short of money? And why does Broadfields seem to be so important to everybody connected with the crime? Before Superintendent Thorne finds the answers, more lives will be threatened, more shots will be fired. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Seller Inventory # meg63
