Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket by Enid Marx (illustrator). 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression. Some edge wear and slight chipping and creasing to top and bottom of largely blue and white jacket and spine, corners slightly bruised, very slight lean, spine slightly darkened, not price clipped (30s), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and almost square, overall a vg+ copy for its age, jacket is a rare survival. 253pp. During a short hunt, Fabrizio kills his wife Valeria with a shotgun. There are no eyewitnesses. Maria Teresa, Fabrizio's cousin, remains convinced of his innocence. And the only way to suffocate the scandal seems to be to intervene Marcello, lawyer and husband of Maria Teresa, to put pressure on the judiciary. Judge Renato Marinoni begins her investigation. He finds out, what we see in flashbacks: Valeria tried to couple her friend Maria Teresa with the beautiful and sexually active lawyer Cesare Molteni. But Maria Teresa declined to sleep together in the house of Fabrizio at the last moment. Both marriages, by Maria Teresa and by her cousin Fabrizio, were unhappy. Today Maria Teresa is in a difficult situation: married to Marcello, forty years old, helpless despite the therapies, she has just come to know that her husband is getting ready to recognize the child that their driver has conceived with their housekeeper Armida. For the first time, in front of the family council in the centre of which she has always found, Maria Teresa replies firmly. The woman, who, for fear of being silent, married the lawyer, decides to act on her own, according to her own will. Michele Prisco (1920-2003) was an Italian journalist, critic, and novelist. Prisco was born and educated in Torre Annunziata. His family provided the middle class background, central to many of his books. He studied law and took examinations to become a solicitor, but decided instead on a career as a writer. The jacket creator Enid Crystal Dorothy Marx (1902-98), was an English painter and designer, was famous for her industrial textile designs for the London Transport Board and the Utility furniture Scheme. Marx was the first female engraver to be designated as a Royal Designer for Industry. A scarce book, especially with jacket. Seller Inventory # 011793
