Soft Cover Full Gloss. Etat : Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. ### The Long Midnight of Barney Thomson - 1999 - An Uncensored Proof From Piatkus ### FIRST EDITION ### ~#~ ~#~ THIS BOOK: No dust jacket, the book classed as Near Fine, the pages are still tight, so I am assuming not read that many times. There is some minor bumping to the book tail corner, the cover is creased a little on the tail corner ~#~ ### Breasts. The body of the young woman lies on the kitchen table. The face, azure white in the melancholic repose of death; the eyes, open and stark, staring blankly into whatever world of demons she has ventured; the body, lying to attention, as if on parade; and then the breasts. Small, firm, strangely upstanding, in the pale fluorescent light of the kitchen. What will happen if removed, now that the girl has been dead for over three hours? Will they fold into some amorphous mass, losing their singular beauty, or will they remain firm and shapely, their allure and elegance preserved? The killer looks over the rest of the body. Until now, the victims have all been men. In death, their bodies are always brutal and ugly, disgusting flesh on the cusp of decay. But this girl, with her smooth, ghostly complexion, the neat, silvicultural thatch of thin blonde hair nestling snugly between her thighs and her beautiful breasts, is so much more. It will almost be a shame to cleave into the luxurious pale skin. Perhaps it would be simpler to send off an ear or a hand. A bland statement of release to the dear departed's. ## #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.

Even after well-publicised disasters - Seveso, the Rhine, Bhopa - presticides are on the increase. What are the politics of their use? What are the alternatives? What can we do to help the situation improve? How can we take practical steps to protect outselves? This book takes a timely look at all these questions. it provides a lengthy checklist of haxardous chemicals, gives details on identifying pesticide damage and advice on seeking justice and compensation.
