About This Item
New York: Ballantine Books, 1992. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Good/Very Good. Anthony Award-winning Roberts' third novel in her mystery series featuring Philadelphia school teacher Amanda Pepper is a bibliomystery in which Pepper, sorting used books for a school fundraiser, finds a book on battered women with descriptions of violent abuse underlined and a note in the margin saying, "I know he will kill me. He says so. I believe him. He will kill me soon." The book is clean, whole and tight but inside front and back covers and the back end page have been damaged by what appears to have been removal of glued-down dustjacket flaps. The DJ currently protecting book is probably not the original since the flaps are undamaged and it shows only minimal surface and edgewear. The damage to the covers is hidden by the dj flaps so it only shows on the back endpage.
