Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Very Good. The book is in very good condition, a fair amount of shelf rubbing especially to edges and corners, bottom corner has some bending with some small indents, a small amount of colour has also been lost from the back cover due to rubbing and age, some foxing beginning along fore-edge and a few inte…rnal pages. Otherwise, inside text appears clean and clear throughout. 'In The Ability to Kill, Eric Ambler turns his attention to true crime-with an emphasis on murder - in this collection of five essays exploring famously intriguing and disturbing cases of the last few hundred years. He delves into the dark tale of Edinburgh's Burke and Hare who supplied the medical school with ill-gotten cadavers and the infamous Jack the Ripper of Victorian London. Though these subjects are sometimes grim, Ambler's skill at story telling make this examination of homicide and criminal activity a pleasure to read.' 191 pages. 7 x 4.2 inches. This listing was made by a small independent book shop. We carefully inspect every single book we list and give accurate descriptions. If you require, we will promptly send pictures of listed books upon request.
