A propos de cet article

A very fine first edition, first impression, first printing of The Interpretation of Murder, Jed Rubenfeld award winning first novel, published by Headline Review in London in 2006. A movie is expected in 2010. This unread, sharp, bright 407 page book is bound in chocolate brown cloth with gold titles on the spine and ruby end papers. The book has no bumping, marking or writing. The very fine illustrated dust jacket is not price clipped and is protected by a clear removable wrapper. The book itself displays 1 on the number line and is in pristine condition. The Interpretation of Murder is an inventive "tour de force" inspired by Sigmund Freud's 1909 visit to America, accompanied by protégé and rival Carl Jung. The mayor of New York calls upon Freud to use his revolutionary new ideas to help the surviving victim recover her memory of the attack, and solve the crime.It begins "There is no mystery to happiness." This book was very successful in the UK, selling over a million copies and was the worthy winner of Richard & Judy's Book Club Award for 2007. A digital photo of the book is available.
