On a lonely road in Wales, a man crashes his car and dies. To every-one except his daughter, Angie, it seems a tragic accident. She becomes obsessed by the idea that her father was killed for suffering from colour blindness. The more Detective Sergeant Harry Kyle investigates the death, the more suspicious he becomes.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. Publication: London, Constable & Company Ltd, 1984 Formatting: 8vo, pp. [vi], 218. Condition Report: Near Fine. This book presents exceptionally well, bound in the publisher's original black boards which remain tight, square, and entirely free of significant shelf-wear or bumping to the extremities. Internally, the text block exhibits a mild, uniform toning characteristic of the paper stock used during this era of British publishing, but the pages remain clean and entirely free of foxing, spotting or annotations. The unclipped dust wrapper, retaining its original £6.95 net price flap, is equally well-preserved; it remains bright, vibrant, and glossy, suffering only the slightest hint of negligible rubbing to the upper edges, remaining entirely free of tears, chipping, or fading. Overall, a highly collectable, tightly bound copy in excellent state. Catalogue Note: True first edition, first printing. Issued as part of the esteemed 'Constable Crime' imprint, the volume features the classic, unillustrated text block typical of mid-to-late-century standard detective fiction. The book is notably distinguished by a warm, personal presentation inscription from the author to fellow crime writer Eileen Dewhurst upon the title page, penned neatly in black ink: "To my dear friend, Eileen. From Roger." Personalised inscriptions to known friends and fellow writers are relatively uncommon, adding a unique touch of intimacy to this particular copy. This title forms an excellent addition for collectors of late 20th-century British crime fiction or completists of the Constable Crime series, preserved here in an unusually bright, complete state. When a man returns to his home in Wales, the tragedy of a local's death seems straightforward enough. However, the deceased's grieving widow, Angie, becomes resolutely convinced that her husband, Iledwyn Griffiths, was murdered. Detective-Sergeant Harry Kyle steps in as a favour to Angie's exasperated husband, hoping to examine the wreckage and lay her groundless suspicions to rest. But as Kyle probes deeper into the murky circumstances surrounding the crash, his certainty wavers and he grows increasingly fond of Angie. Then, one dark night, while examining the wreckage of the fatal car, someone strikes him over the head. And Harry Kyle sees red. Signed by Author(s). N° de réf. du vendeur 4069-RM-FS-VG-4
