Pictorial Wrappers. Condition: New. Zann, Nicky (illustrator). First Printing. 1st printing, October 1991, so stated with complete number line beginning with 1. Broadway producer Peter Duluth's actress wife Iris is out of town for a while visiting her ailing mother. Peter is induced to go to a party held by their overweening upstairs neighbors, belle dame actress Lottie Marin and her subjugated husband Brian. There he meets Nanny Ordway, a young wannabe writer who seems like a fish out of water. Because he's lonely and she's broke and hungry, he takes her out for a burger. They see each other a few more times, always strictly platonically, and finally he lends her the key to the Duluth apartment so she can write there during the day, while he's out, rather than try to do so in the dumpy Greenwich Village apartment she shares with another girl. It never dawns on him that others might regard his friendship with Nanny rather differently until, on Iris's return, they go back to the apartment from the airport to find Nanny, dressed in pajamas, dead and hanging from the chandelier in the master bedroom, having apparently hanged herself.
