About This Item
New York: Harper & Row, 1978. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Very Good/Good Plus. A very young Sherlock Holmes, a member of the cast performing Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night' in New York City, is invited to dinner with Theodore Roosevelt, soon to become New York City Police Commissioner, and both find themselves investigating a murder later that night in Grammercy Park. A well-received pastiche as Jeffers adds his name to list of those seeking to fill the holes in Holmes' life left blank by Conan Doyle's original stories; a remainder mark on the bottom edge of the text and a small, faded area at the base of spine, o/w boards and text are clean, tight and square; the dustjacket shows four small tears at the base of the spine (carefully tape-repaired from the inside), o/w only minimal surface and edgewear.
