Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First British Edition. BH5 - A first British edition hardcover book in very good condition in very good dust jacket. Dust jacket and book have some bumped corners, light discoloration and shelf wear. Although not marked in any way, this copy comes from the personal collection of Otto Penzler, legendary editor and founder of the Mysterious Press, an award-winning icon in the genre. The totally compelling debut from a major new writer. 9.5"x6.5", 499 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Julia came up to the observatory in the Northern California mountains that summer to escape the emptiness she felt after the violent deaths of her husband Lewis and stepdaughter Gail. When she is charged with their murder, the circumstantial evidence against her is so damming that her attorney advises her to plead guilty. But Julia says she is innocent. Lomax knows she is. So he sets out to prove it. As an astronomer, Lomax has few equals when it comes to the analysis of complex scientific data. And he knows from gazing at the stars that the answers to the present lie in unravelling the mysteries of the past. Armed with a snapshot taken at Julia's wedding he goes in search of the truth about her perfect family. The truth about Lewis, the wealthy lawyer in his sixties who has a taste for girls young enough to be his daughter. About Vicky, the alcoholic first wife who nurses her hatred with as much enthusiasm as she does her bourbon. About Richard, the son trapped in a web of duplicity he cannot bear to confront. As he peels back the layers of deceit Lomax uncovers a picture that is very far from perfect. A picture of a broken family, driven by guilt, incest and obsessive jealously, ready to explode into violence at any moment. At is centre lies Gail, the plain, insecure stepdaughter whom nobody can remember, and Julia, whose beauty only serves to mask her loneliness. But it is only when Julia's trail is almost over that Lomax stumbles across the darkest secret of all. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Condition very good in blue boards with black cloth spine, DJ very good with shelf rubbing, clean tight 1st edition. From Publishers Weekly: When beautiful Julia Fox is accused of murdering her husband and stepdaughter, her lover, an astronomer named Lomax, assists the defense team investigating the crime. But to his dismay, Lomax uncovers evidence that helps the prosecution more than the defense: a history of antagonism between Julia and her step-daughter, Gail; hints of incest between Gail and her lawyer father; a huge withdrawal from Julia's trust fund that may have been a blackmail payment. Complicating matters are the dead man's membership in a club that caters to peculiar sexual tastes, and Lomax's obsessive jealousy of Julia. Set in and around an unnamed California observatory, which serves as the source of a subplot about celestial distortions that neatly ties into the main story line, Rigbey's first novel boasts gripping courtroom sequences, a driving style and believable characters? but only up to a point. The trouble is that the plot climaxes in what is clearly meant to be a stunning surprise? but it's one that many readers will have guessed long before. And once the secret is out so are the author's manipulations, which now appear obvious, as does the lack of discernment in otherwise intelligent characters. Still, excepting this major flaw, this is a well-written and engrossing debut, tailored for a hot summer day's read. Major ad/promo. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
