About This Item
New York: Vintage Books, 1980. First Printing, First Edition Thus. . Mass Market Paperback. Near Fine to Fine. Vintage V-274: The eighth novel in this award-winning husband and wife's mystery-thriller series that led the way for the many bestselling Scandanavian crime-thriller novels today. Police Inspector Martin Beck is faced with the murder of a retired longshoreman in a locked room that is somehow connected to a young female bankrobber who shoots and kills an innocent bystander. Text appears unread, showing only some light age-tanning in the margins, o/w clean and unmarked, tight and square. The pictorial wrappers show only some light flaking at the edges and corners; no tears or creases. A collectable copy.
