The book is tight and square with solid hinges and binding, good tips, and clean cloth boards. Light creases to spine ends. The textblock has a two-inch closed tear on the half-title page, the back of this page lists Graves' selected works. Mild toning to endpapers. There is no writing, bookplate, or markings and not BCE, ex-library, or remaindered. The dust jacket is unclipped ($3.95) with light wear and soiling (see photos). Protected in a new Brodart Mylar cover. 312 pages. 5¼ x 8½" tall.
A self-confessed forger, cheat, thief, and petty criminal, William Palmer was also a surgeon and a racehorse owner during the Victorian era who doped horses, fixed races, philandered unapologetically, and generally behaved as an all-around rogue. But the crime for which he was condemned was altogether more serious: poisoning numerous members of his family and a close friend. Based on the historic trial of a man characterized as a sociopath and a serial killer, Robert Graves tells the story of a man who was deeply flawed but ultimately not beyond redemption.
