Author's 4th Jack Warr novel. Visually the exterior appearance is still exceptional and particularly internally,is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation.It is only the minimal fault described that prevents a slightly higher grading for the dw/dj particularly. Otherwise,it really is an still an exceptional,exemplary example for its cleanliness,brightness and lack of major detracting faults. It was supposed to be a simple case: a young man arrested for armed assault.But it was just the beginning.As Rodney Middleton awaits trial, Detective Jack Warr is warned by his mentor DCI Ridley that they have only scratched the surface of the man's crimes.Then DCI Ridley is suddenly removed from his post.No one is to contact him - and no one will say why. As Warr digs into Rodney's past,Ridley calls pleading for help,now accused of a murder he insists he didn't commit.One of these men is a true monster,an evil soul. But which?And what awaits Warr if he discovers the truth? Please contact seller,for correct shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas customers - BEFORE ordering through the order page! N.B.
