Comments & Further Information

First UK edition B format (130 x 198 mm) paperback which comes complete with the publisher’s press release. Single #1 as the number sequence indicating a first printing.

SYNOPSIS: “It is 1931 and Harper, a violent down-and-out is living a hand-to-mouth existence in the shanty town of Hooverville. After a murder he’s hounded out by a vigilante group and he finds refuge in a mysterious house. To the outside world, this house looks an uninhabitable wreck, but inside it is something quite different. Like the wardrobe in C S Lewis or The Tardis in Dr Who, it gives him access to different times and also offers him a vision – of his ‘shining girls’, women across time who are to become his murder victims. He visits them as children, then as teenagers, then as adults, when he will kill them and leave anachronistic clues on their bodies. A serial killer who should be undetectable – until he picks the wrong victim…”
