Comments & Further Information

This is a second printing of the US edition – with a stated second printing.  The title was published in the UK as Turmoil in Zion.  The book lacks a dust jacket.   It’s had a hard life and is in a bit of a state.  Bumped at head and tail of book spine and to all four corners of the boards.  Rubbing along the edges of the boards.  The spine is grubby and has split at the top and bottom  along the edge adjacent to the spine of the front board and in three places on the rear board.  Internally the pages are tanned and the rear hinge is cracked.  The photographs of the book make it look much brighter and cleaner than it actually is.

SYNOPSIS:  “Zion Chapel’s annual anniversary tea party is an opportunity for stuffy Alderman Harbuttle to loosen up, and this year he’s unexpectedly rowdy. After a lot of laughter and loud singing, he starts to lead the parishioners in a conga line through the winding corridors. But the festivities turn fatal, and Superintendent Nankivell of the local police is soon stirring up some sinful secrets…”
