A propos de cet article

TWO P. D JAMES FIRST EDITIONS:ORIGINAL SIN (First edition - first impression) + A CERTAIN JUSTICE (First edition - second impression) both copies SIGNED & INSCRIBED by the author. ***Both books are very good to near fine in their original dustwrappers. No serious flaws. For detailed descriptions of the books, please refer to the original listings which are still on ABE. ***242mm x158mm. 426 + 390 pages. ***'"Original Sin" is set in a long-established publishing firm housed in a dramatic mock-Venetian palace on the Thames. The Peverell Press, founded in 1792, is ripe for change. The chairman, Henry Peverell, has just died; his French partner, Jean-Philippe Etienne, has retired and Etienne's ruthless son Gerard has taken over as chairman and managing director. Gerard Etienne has made enemies: his discarded mistress, a rejected and humiliated author, his colleagues and threatened members of the Peverell staff. When he is found dead on the premises, his body bizarrely desecrated, there is no shortage of suspects. Adam Dalgliesh and his team - Kate Miskin and Daniel Aaron - are confronted with a puzzle of extraordinary ingenuity and complexity, and a murderer who is prepared to kill again. The Thames runs like a unifying theme through a novel which demonstrates yet again P. D. James's power to evoke atmosphere, sustain horror and suspense, and create a range of fully-realized characters caught up in the tangled aftermath of murder. "Original Sin" is both a brilliantly constructed detective story and a novel of extraordinary power.' (Quote and review quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'P. D. James once again demonstrates the truth of Orwell's saying that murder, the unique crime, should arise only from strong emotions. No one handles them with more authority and sensitivity. "A Certain Justice", set in the legal world, displays those qualities which aficionados of the classic detective novel have come to expect of P. D. James: a strong plot superbly handled, credible detection, excitement and suspense, and characters who live on in the memory.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) TWO P. D JAMES FIRST EDITIONS:ORIGINAL SIN (First edition - first impression) + A CERTAIN JUSTICE (First edition - second impression) both copies SIGNED & INSCRIBED by the author. A nice uniform pair. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
