Condizione: FINE. First US printing. The nineteenth novel by this award-winning and prolific author, probably still best known for 'The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie'. "Ten stylish Londoners assemble for a dinner party: as Charterhouse, the butler, offers each course, Spark serves up a mercilessly economical history of the two hosts, their various guests and the distinguished Hilda Damien, who is expected 'to look in' after dinner. . . Polished and witty, the narrative cuts from the banquet to episodes in the recent past that link Hilda's death to her associations with the other characters. Spark's exquisitely balanced tone proves that the richest comedy is that which explores the darkest themes." (Publishers Weekly) 192 pp. Fine in a very near fine dustjacket.…

Copertina morbida. Condizione: Ottimo. 148 p. ; 22 x 14 cm. Fabula, 141. Ormai quasi trent'anni fa Londra fu scossa da un feroce delitto che si scoprì avvenuto per sbaglio (invece della moglie l'assassino aveva ucciso la bambinaia di casa). Il colpevole era una figura di spicco dell'aristocrazia inglese, Lord Lucan. Ma la polizia non riuscì mai ad arrestarlo. Da allora si sono accumulati allarmi e improbabili cronache sul latitante, avvistato nei più remoti angoli del mondo e, a quanto pare, protetto da una possente omertà di classe. Sulla base di questo canovaccio terribilmente vero Muriel Spark ha costruito il suo romanzo, una sorta di supplemento di indagini dove Lord Lucan si sdoppia e incorre in avventure macabre ed esilaranti. Titolo originale dell'opera: «Aiding and abetting». Traduzione di Claudia Valeria Letizia. Brossura editoriale, copertina illustrata in b/n, in cartoncino flessibile di colore rosa con alette.…
