London: Canongate, 2016. An As New copy with an As New dustjacket which is not price clipped. First Edition, First Printing. 332 pages. In Lisbon in 1904 a man named Tomas discovers an old journal. It hints at the existence of an extraordinary artefact that - if he can find it - would redefine history. Travelling in one of Europe's earliest automobiles Tomas sets out in search of this strange treasure. Thirty-five years later, a Portuguese pathologist devoted to the murder mysteries of Agatha Christie finds himself at the centre of a murder mystery of his own, and is drawn into the consequences of Tomas's quest. Fifty years on, a Canadian senator seeks refuge in his ancestral village in northern Portugal, grieving the loss of his beloved wife. But he arrives with an unusual companion: a chimpanzee. And there the century-old adventure will come to its stirring conclusion. L. First. Hard Cover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
