Sobre este artículo
London: Michael Joseph, 1965. Bound in the publishers sage green hard covers with gilt title lettering to spine. This is the first impression of the first edition of a scarce Dick Francis title. The 255 pages remain in very presentable condition and are tightly bound. Book sits solid and square with all corners sharp. Previous owners name to front free endapaper remains discreet. A very presentable copy inside and out. Housed in the vibrant green coloured dustwrapper with contrasting red title lettering to spine and front panel. Publishers printed price intact on front inside flap. Light wear and chipping to the edges mainly at the vulnerable head and heel of spine but nontheless a very decent example of the famous Richard Barton designed dustwrapper. Not easy to encounter in this condition. The book maintains a very presentable shelf appearance. The exciting artwork and vibrant colours combine to create a picture of compelling realism. Protected in a removable archival booksleeve to preserve its condition. Photographs of the book and the dustwrapper are available on request. A collectable copy of a rare Dick Francis first edition title.. First Edition. Very Good +/Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. FIRST EDITION.
Sinopsis
Australian horse breeder Daniel Roke had resisted the exorbitant sum of money offered by a suave Englishman to investigate a scandal involving drugged racehorses. But after another investigator dies mysteriously, Roke agrees to fill his shoes--and learns that men who would give drugs to horses are capable of doing much worse to human beings.
