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) ***First impression of the true first edition, complete in its original dustwrapper, signed, inscribed and dated by the author, and in near fine condition. ***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. Signed by Author(s).
