A first UK edition hardback with a stated First published by Mysterious Press in August 1994 and a full 1 to 10 number sequence indicating a first printing. Minor bump to head and tail of book spine. Tanning to pages. Foxing to edges, not affecting page faces. The dust jacket is complete, still shows the price, but is showing some slight signs of wear to the extremities: some minor creasing at top and bottom of jacket spine to match the bumps.
A Jane da Silva novel.
SYNOPSIS: “The rather odd couple who appear on Jane’s doorstep are either magazine salespeople – or the answer to her prayer for another hopeless case. It turns out the the bookish man and the nervous young woman are worried that Irene March, their co-worker at a a news clipping service, has met with foul play. They explain that Irene began acting “stressed” after she became a contestant on Jeopardy! – and won. The mousy spinster had turned into a cut-throat competitor the moment she stepped before the TV cameras. Now, twenty thousand dollars richer, she appears to have vanished. The police don’t seem to care, their boss is already looking for a replacement and the two co-workers feel helpless – and hopeless.
That’s just perfect for Jane da Silva, who can only collect on her eccentric uncle’s vast legacy whenever she solves a mystery everyone else has given up on!”
