Cloth. Condition: Very Good/Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Exiled from the Valleys, divorced, and pushing forty, Inspector Evans is wedded to the Force and fancied for promotion. Nigel Buxton has just taken silk, and with it caught the eye of a powerful mentor. Grace Yardley is thirty-six, secure, serene and elegant, a successful career woman and devoted mother. On a wet and windswept Sunday, unknown hands fashion the act of obscene violence which draws these three irrevocably together.Driven to a lonely, desperate and dangerous quest, Grace Yardley descends into a world of darkness and squalor. For Evans, everyday routines take on the strange fervour of a crusade; while Buxton finds himself forced into legal and ethical compromise. But violence again erupts, from a totally unexpected source, and all three characters find themseleves in a hushed and crowded courtroom awaiting the verdict on a single, crucial issue: can natural justice ever transcend the law of the land? Bottom front corner of cloth very slightly bumped. Small waterstain mark to bottom back of D/J. Seller Inventory # 023065
