About This Item
Gollancz, 1981. First edition, first printing. 8vo. Red boards with gilt titles. A fine copy with clean boards. Internally fresh with no inscriptions. The fine dustwrapper is clean & unworn with none of the usual fading encountered on these Gollancz dustwrappers. A very attractive copy. A delicious blend of witchery and bitchery - an investigation into deceit and scheming set within the aristocratic Care family spanning a number of years and with the wonderful Cornish backdrop so often encountered in Burley's novels.
