Etat : Very Good. Hardcover in a bight, unclipped dust jacket. SIGNED BY AUTHOR on title page ("Rodney Wingfield 1990"). The first of the author's Inspector Frost mysteries, originally written in 1972 at the prompting of Macmillan (and spurred on by a non-refundable advance of £50), the manuscript was promptly rejected, before eventually being published in Canada in 1984. This UK edition followed some five years later and the Yorkshire Television adoptions staring David Jason appeared soon after. Bright, clean copy. Record # 379334. N° de réf. du vendeur 379334
