This is a very good inscribed copy of Micheal Dibdin's sixth novel. The dust-jacket, designed by Irene von Treskow, situates us in Oxford with its citation of quadrangle architecture, the Racliffe Camera, Tom Tower, and the towers of Merton College Chapel, St Mary's, and All Saints. Dibdin's Oxonian thriller explores sex, violence, and murder.
This edition is inscribed by the author, 'For Clive Sinclair, with admiration and humility'. Sinclair was a Jewish, British author best known for Hearts of Gold (1979), Bedbugs (1982), and The Lady with the Laptop (1996). Dibdin reviewed Sinclair's work in The Independent and The Observer. They both lived transatlantic lives, having grown up in England, Sinclair studied and lectured at UC Santa Cruz and Dibdin studied in Canada and settled in Washington State.
First edition, inscribed by the author in pen to title page; 8vo; interior lightly toned; publisher's black cloth, spine lettered in white, a very good edition with pictorial dust-jacket lightly rubbed on edges; 241pp.
