A UK 1st Edition, 1st Printing Hardback book indicated on the copyright page with no further printings mentioned. - THIS IS A COLLECTIBLE 1ST PRINTING COPY THAT WAS PUBLISHED BEFORE THE TRUE IDENTITY OF THE AUTHOR WAS WIDELY KNOWN. - The book contains all of the first printing issue points, including the picture of the lamp to the reverse of the dust jacket, with no mention of JK Rowling to either the book or the jacket. - The book itself is in very good condition. It has a crease running from the top to the bottom of the spine where it has been read, with a light push to the top and bottom of the spine. The boards are nicely presented, with just a feint, small 2cm white line to the reverse board. The page block has pulled away from the top of the spine slightly (common with some books that have been read), but is still securely fixed to the spine and boards. The page block is nicely presented. Internally, there are no tears or inscriptions present. A very good copy overall. The dust jacket is also in very good condition, and has not been price clipped with a price of �16.99 shown. There is a 2mm closed tear to the bottom of the spine cover, and very small nicks at the bottom of the jacket where the flaps meet the front and reverse. There is also light creasing/ ruffling along most of the top and bottom of the jacket, particularly around the spine where this extends further. Otherwise a very good copy.

A brilliant debut mystery in a classic vein: Detective Cormoran Strike investigates a supermodel's suicide.
