Printing Details

First UK edition, first printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 20.5 × 13cm, 183pp.

One morning slanderous posters start appearing all over the town, revealing family secrets and maligning individuals. Ghosts of the past reappear, along with old feuds and infidelities. Torrential rains then flood the town and chaos is everywhere. Neighbors suspect each other yet no one knows who is responsible. Finally, a boy is made the scapegoat and tragedy ensues.

Condition

A good copy. Whilst the book remains clean and in strong readable condition, the corners suffer some bumping and there are several small scuffs to the wrapper's spine (towards the rear joint) which have tanned a little. However, still a decent copy.
