About This Item
New York: Knopf, 2008. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. In his fifth novel, former award-winning journalist Darnton captures perfectly the "beginning of the end" days of a big city newspaper where an unloved but powerful editor is found murdered in the newsroom on a rainy September morning. Priscilla Bollingsworth, a young NYPD detective, teams up with Jude Hurley, a clever, rebellious reporter, to search for a killer, an effort complicated by several additional corpses. Boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square; the dustjacket shows a touch of soiling and edgewear. Collectable.
