-- An Early Nicci French Classic: Double Signed First Edition for the Discerning Collector--
An attractive double-signed copy of the first novel published under the Nicci French pseudonym and the book that established one of the most successful partnerships in contemporary British psychological crime fiction. Double-signed copies are considerably less common than standard unsigned examples and are increasingly sought after by collectors of modern crime fiction.
This book has one of the most decorative and attractive dust jackets I've seen, the book is decadently decorated with an image that is perfectly framed in a clear pictorial square within the dust jacket, it is an exquisite piece of design on an exceptionally written book.
Condition: Book: near fine condition with a clean, tight text block and no significant defects noted. Dust Jacket: original, unclipped dust jacket likewise near fine and presents exceptionally well.
Synopsis:
When a human skeleton is discovered buried in the grounds of a large country house, a group of former childhood friends are forced to confront memories they have spent years trying to forget. As the investigation unfolds, long-buried secrets, hidden betrayals and fractured relationships begin to surface.
Shifting between past and present, The Memory Game explores the unreliable nature of memory and the devastating consequences of suppressed truths. Combining psychological insight with mounting suspense, Nicci French's debut is a tense and compelling thriller that established the authors as major voices in modern crime fiction.
