"First edition" statement and first printing number code sequence 1 through 10 to the copyright page, $15.95 and 0589 date code to the jacket's flap. SIGNED to the title page by the Edgar Grand Master, five-time Anthony, three-time Shamus, and Diamond Dagger Awards winning late author. The sixth mystery featuring private detective Kinsey Millhone, this time set in the fictitious town of Floral Beach, California. Grafton blazed the trail for modern women detective characters in these early novels, with real-seeming, smart but ordinary, breezy and wise-cracking Millhone, who was not glamorous, not model pretty, never called 'feisty', not two-dimensional, and not sport for humor. Winner of the Maltese Falcon Award. A presentable first printing SIGNED collectible.
