Whe he's sent to wiat tables at a posh dinner party, he easily spots a guest's fake diamonds and argues over a water stain on a valuable antique table.

Etat : Wie neu. 22 cm. 274 pages. Illustrated. Original Hardcover with original dustjacket in protective collector's mylar. Excellent condition with some minor signs of wear only. Zé Arigó (pseudonym of José Pedro de Freitas 18 October 1921 11 January 1971) was a faith healer and proponent of psychic surgery. He claimed to have…performed psychic surgery with his hands or with simple kitchen utensils while in a mediumistic trance, therefore he was also known as the Surgeon of the Rusty Knife. During his operations he supposedly embodied the spirit of Dr. Adolf Fritz. Zé Arigó was born José Pedro de Freitas on a farm located 6 kilometers from Congonhas do Campo, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. His family was very poor and he could only study up to the third grade of school. At the age of 14 he began working at a mine where he worked for 6 years. According to his autobiography, around 1950 he began to suffer from strong headaches, insomnia, trances, and hallucinations. One day he felt that the voice that had been pursuing him took over his body, and he had a vision of a bald man, dressed in a white apron and supervising a team of doctors and nurses in an enormous operating room. This entity identified itself as "Dr. Fritz." After claiming to have channeled Dr. Fritz, Arigó began to perform operations using scalpels and needles. His reputation soared and spread throughout Brazil after it was alleged that he had removed a cancerous tumor from the lung of a well-known Brazilian senator. Over the next twenty years, thousands of people who mistrusted traditional medicine, or had not found help in it, came to Congonhas in search of a cure. In 1956 Arigó was convicted of illegally practicing medicine. He was sentenced to 15 months in prison, but was pardoned by President of Brazil Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira. In 1962 he was arrested and held for seven months for practicing medicine without a license. However, he was allowed to continue treating people while held in jail. Arigó died in 1971 in an automobile accident. Magician and skeptic James Randi considered the psychic surgery of Arigó to be the result of sleight of hand trickery. Randi published a photograph of himself performing a knife stunt that Arigó was alleged to have performed. Skeptical investigator Joe Nickell has written that Arigó "prescribed various potions and concoctions that obviously depended for their effectiveness on the placebo effect. His prescriptions were filled at the only pharmacy in town run by the amateur doctor's brother. By such means were Arigo's alleged "miracle healings" actually performed." Philosopher and skeptic Robert Todd Carroll author of The Skeptic's Dictionary considered Arigó to be a hoaxer. Martin Gardner protesting Crowell-Collier's publishing of the John G. Fuller's book Arigo withdrew publication of his own (Gardner) book. Alan Arkin writes of the influence his knowledge of Arigó had on a specific time in his life in his book, Out Of My Mind:(Not Quite a Memoir). (Wikipedia).

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm, with just a touch of fading to the cloth at the spine tips. The contents, with the occasional foxing spot to the prelims and a small spot to the bottom edge of the… closed text block, are otherwise clean throughout, and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the bright, lightly rubbed and creased dustwrapper which has a short closed tear to the front flap fold, secured with a piece of tape to the underside. Not price-clipped (publisher's label £1.50 net over the £3.25 printed price to the lower front flap). The first novel in the 'Lovejoy' series, introducing the eponymous antiques dealer and amateur detective. Winner of the 1977 Crime Writers' Association New Blood Dagger [John Creasey Memorial] award. Lovejoy's adventures hunting down the mythical thirteenth pair of Durs Egg duelling pistols formed the basis for the fifth episode of the BBC television adaptation 'Lovejoy' starring Ian McShane, which spanned four seasons from 1986-93.
