Seller's Description:
Dispatched, from the UK, within 48 hours of ordering. This book is in good condition but will show signs of previous ownership. Please expect some creasing to the spine and/or minor damage to the cover. Aged book. Tanned pages and age spots, however, this will not interfere with reading.
I haven't finished this book but I find the different voices from the stories to be strange, mystical, outrageous and sometimes (to me) plain funny. Be assured the Celtic touch is still here in this great set of detective stories.
