Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket by John Ward (illustrator). 1st Edition. First published in 1968, this is a fourth impression of 1969. SIGNED BY IRIS MURDOCH, WITHOUT DEDICATION, ON FFEP, under blue stamp 'Signed for an member of the New Fiction Society' with the Society's logo. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, slight yellowing to extremities of largely white jacket, corners slightly bruised, not price clipped (30s), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy for its age. 350pp. A revolver shot rings through a Whitehall office one hot afternoon in the middle of an English summer. A Government official has apparently shot himself, but the circumstances are questionable, prompting Octavian Gray, head of the department in which the dead man worked, to investigate. Solicitor John Ducane is charged with the task, interviewing other civil servants by day, and by night attempting repeatedly, and unsuccessfully, to break up with his mistress. When Ducane travels to Gray's Dorset home everything becomes even more mysterious and nothing is quite as it seems. Murdoch's eleventh novel, shortlisted for the 1969 Booker Prize, very scarce signed. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 004882
