“Callaghan awoke and looked at the ceiling. His lips were dry and his tongue felt like a yellow plush sofa. Outside he could hear the rain pattering on the windows. He looked at his wrist-watch. It was eight o’clock.”
Vivacious Mrs. Riverton has hired Slim Callaghan to find her missing stepson, whom she admits she hates. A dame has to have more than beauty and breeding to stop Slim doing things his way. Mrs. Riverton has plenty of both, but when she begins to interfere in Slim’s search, things start to hot up.
Condition grading: Good Minus. Some foxing to both covers. Wear and creasing to spine. Light wear to cover edges. Some corner creasing to rear cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
