From the recently auctioned collection of Donald S. Olson--with the auction tag laid in. A superb fine copy in a near fine unclipped dustjacket. This copy is signed by the author directly on to the half title page with out any inscription. A little light dustiness to the page edges and one small miniscule indentation to the front board edge about half way up. The dustjacket is unclipped and has some light delamination areas near the letters that is very common with the dustjackets of this title--where the plastic has pulled ever so slightly away-- still a near fine dustjacket. A great collectable book protected in a Brodart jacket. The author's third novel after "The Firm" and "A Time To Kill". (The digital photo shows some glare and wear in the upper right corner--this is only from the Brodart dustjacket cover and not the actual dustjacket)
