Gently With The Ladies: An Inspector Gently Mystery
New York: Macmillan, 1974. First American edition. Hardcover. First American edition. Fine, fresh, unused copy in equally fine, clean dust jacket. The thirteenth book in this English mystery series featuring police inspector George Gently. Hardcover. 185 pp. A police man-hunt fails to find the husband of a brutally murdered woman--until he turns up in Gently's office. The hunted man is, in fact, a far-distant relative of Gently and throws himself at the Chief Inspector's mercy. Just when he is about to hand over the case to his colleagues, Gently notices intriguing elements to the case. The fact that the prime suspect has fled to be with his mistress and then taken to the open sea in a chartered yacht seems incriminating. But soon Gently discovers the affluent and exotic lifestyle of the victim that may unearth more than meets the eye. Fine / fine. Item #E35192
