Prelude to a Certain Midnight

First edition. Unclipped dust jacket with price intact, now in Brodart. Owner's name embossed on title page. Clean text block. This copy originally belonged to American composer David Diamond. A sex killer haunts the afternoon fog of 1930s London. He is on the prowl, looking for a schoolgirl. This monster, in turn, is being hunted. Kersh needs a revival for his gritty portrayal of London's underbelly. "Outrage and cutting satire, but with enough punch to leave you with a bloody mouth." 249 pages.
