Secker & Warburg, 1982, Hardcover (Original Cloth), Book Condition: Very Good, Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good, First
In the twilight of his life, A. J. Monaghan, a once-famous author, is disturbed by a familiar but disembodied voice, and by a mystifying query from an American legal firm. His natural response is to turn to his younger friend Patrick Mallow, himself a lawyer. Mallow, a specialist in divorce, is expert in disentangling other people's marital problems, but incapable of identifying his own. When his daughter Sarah runs away from home, it is the remorseless probing of a suspicious policeman that forces him to confront his identity. Size: Octavo (standard book size). Text body is clean, and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. Slight foxing front/rear pages, but body of book mostly clean and unfoxed. Dust Jacket is in very good condition, without tears or chips or other damage. Dust Jacket price-clipped. Edges browned slightly. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram. Category: Fiction; ISBN: 0436036827. ISBN/EAN: 9780436036828.
