A rare gem of the mystery genre makes its first return to print
since 1956
An honest policeman, Sergeant Wigan, escorts a drunk man home one night
to keep him out of trouble and, seeing his fine book collection, slowly
falls in to the gentle art of book collecting. Just as the friendship
is blossoming, the policeman's book-collecting friend is murdered.
To solve the mystery of why the victim was killed, and which of his
rare books was taken, Wigan dives into the world of 'runners' and book
collectors, where avid agents will gladly cut you for a first edition
and then offer you a lift home afterwards. This adventurous mystery,
which combines exuberant characters with a wonderfully realised
depiction of the second-hand book market, is sure to delight
bibliophiles and classic crime enthusiasts alike.
