Description
Pre-Owned but unread. Sandman’s first case concerns a portrait painter who is due to hang for murder in a week’s time and the government makes it clear that they want the verdict confirmed. But Rider Sandman, whose qualifications for the post are nonexistent, discovers that the painter is almost certainly innocent and, as he peels back the layers of a corrupt penal system, he finds himself pitted against some of the wealthiest and most ruthless men in Regency England who want to keep the truth hidden. Pages slightly tanned, text clean and sound, no inscriptions, Very Good condition. Hardcover. Excellent dust jacket not price-clipped but with a very small crease. Published by Harper Collins London 2001
