About This Item
New York: Knopf, 1986. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. MacDonald chose the coast of Mississippi rather than his usual Florida setting for his last novel, the story a multi-million dollar land swindle in which a ruthless realtor's plans to sell the federal government an island that may disappear in the next storm is challenged by an ordinary man for whom honor is more than just a word. Boards and text are clean, tight, square; dustjacket shows some slight soiling but no significant flaws.
