Sobre este artículo
London: Macmillan London Limited, 1983. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. A bibliomystery by one of the 20th century's master craftsmen and critics of the Mystery, who believed the genre could and should be more than entertainment. A social commentary and sexual comedy as well as a bibliomystery rife with references to Edgar Allan Poe, features Englishman Dudley Potter teaching literature at an American university where he falls in love with a young girl named Annabel Lee. For three months the pair live an idyll of love and sex, then the girl disappears. Obsessed, Dudley learns she has gone to England and follows her. With echoes of Poe everywhere, Dudley's search leads to a murdered man, an extraordinary house on the Yorkshire coast, and a strange telephone call that seems to be from Annabel Lee before the mystery is solved, in a bit of Symons' sleight of hand, back in New York. Text edges slightly soiled, o/w text and boards are clean and unmarked, tight and square. The dustjacket shows only a bit of creasing along the upper edge of the front panel, no tears, no chipping, not price-clipped. A collectable copy.
