New York: Mysterious Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket; No library markings except for a . discard stamp on front endpaper. Two small dots bottom edge. Light edge . wrinkling to jacket.. 1989. First Edition. Hardcover. Philip Wardman, an ordinary young man, sports one eccentricity: a neurotic fear of violence and death. Like Ferdinand, he likes to smell the flowers, particularly those in his mother's garden, where stands a statue of the goddess Flora, who over time has come to represent all the female virtues. Imagine Philip's consternation when, at his sister's wedding, he encounters a living incarnation of the marble Flora: Senta Pelham, an actress happily contemptuous of conventional morality. She comes to him that night. But Senta has a dark side. Where death frightens Philip, it fascinates her. She proposes a wicked test: to prove his love he needs to kill. ; Ex-Lib; 9.25 x 6 x 1 inches; 259 pages .
