Item Description: First edition first printing of the fifth novel in the Tim Simpson series - Did belong to a library before but book and wrapper survived surprisingly well - Collins Crime Club 1987. >>> 'I don't know how you do it,' grumbled Chief Inspector Nobby Roberts. 'You're a sort of magnet for corpses. Especially if they're involved in the fine art trade.' - He was addressing his old college chum Tim Simpson and he had good reason to feel aggrieved. No sooner did Tim, in charge of the Art Investment Fund of White's Bank, set out to acquire a piece of furniture by Richard Norman Shaw, the late nineteenth-century's most brilliant domestic architect, than his first informant was murdered. On past experience Nobby feared he might not be the last. (Goodreads)
