About this Item

[1976]. Near Fine in a Near Fine dustjacket. Blue boards. The spine is stamped in gilt. Small octavo. 223pps. There is light rubbing to the spine-ends and a small ghost of sticker-adhesive (due to the removal of a price sticker) on the ffep. Otherwise clean, tight, and bright. All tips are sharp. The text is immaculate; no apparent reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a new mylar sleeve, is mildly rubbed and has a small nick at the heel of the spine; the original price is intact. ".A prominent politician, Graham Chadwick, wants to consult Antony Maitland, Q.C. Chadwick has great power over the granting of planning permission for major developments but is himself a conservationist. In his own constituency such a development hangs in the balance: a way has been found to blackmail him on the grounds that he is trying to force the development through to benefit his crippled sister-in-law who owns land there. In effect he wants Maitland to work as a private detective -- to find who is the blackmailer. Maitland and his wife Jenny travel north to Chadwick's Northumbrian constituency. Maitland soon discovers he is working with a 'closed circle' of suspects. A murder dramatically changes the nature of the case, and casts doubt even on Chadwick's innocence. Another murder follows before Maitland can begin to see a pattern -- or the identity of the murderer."
