Description:
First UK edition 1st printing, the 1985 Edgar winning title, Near Fine book flawed by uncut final two pages; these were opened badly resulting in a small closed tear and small chip to last page edge, while next to last page edge has a 3/4 by 1/4 inch triangular shaped chip, slight page edge toning, in a Near Fine jacket that is lightly sunned on spine with two very light, unobtrusive, overwrite lines on front panel. Signed by Wright on the title page. Very rare with price (flap shows pounds 9.50 net) and very rare signed by Wright.

Comments: Back of d-j has very subtle shelf wear.Synopsis: A politician wakes with a beautiful girl; a criminal briefs his team; a tycoon breakfasts with a Bank official. Then three stories break: an attempted suicide, a hijack, and a takeover bid. They seem unrelated – until Evening Post reporters ask questions. Why is a Jamaican bank in trouble? Who drove the Rolls-Royce seen near the raid? Who was the man with gunshot wounds? As the day wears on, new questions arise – about paper money.
