Lawrence Sanders – The Third Deadly Sin – Uncorrected Proof Copy 1981
£35.00
An uncorrected proof copy of The Third Deadly Sin, published by Granada Publishing in 1981. A near fine copy, with creasing and toning to the spine, bumping to the head of the spine, damp staining to corner of soft front cover and subsequent prelims, some light shelf wear to the soft covers.
The Third Deadly Sin by Lawrence Sanders follows retired NYPD detective Edward X. Delaney as he hunts the “Hotel Ripper,” a mysterious serial killer targeting businessmen in Manhattan. By day, the murderer is Zoe Kohler, an unassuming hotel secretary; by night, she prowls bars in disguise, wielding a Swiss Army knife. Alternating between Zoe’s chilling psychology and Delaney’s meticulous investigation, the novel builds in suspense. Though critics note dated gender themes and implausible motives, its procedural detail and tension make it a gripping thriller
