Description
First edition, first printing of ‘Down Cemetery Road’. Published by Constable in 2003. This is a near fine copy. The unclipped dust wrapper is faded to the spine and a touch rubbed in places. No inscriptions – SIGNED to the title page by Mick Herron and with Blackwell’s SIGNED Copy sticker to the front panel by way of provenance.
Mick Herron’s debut novel and the first in the Zoë Boehm series. Set in Oxford, it follows private investigator Zoë Boehm and her partner as they probe the disappearance of a child after a house explosion. The investigation uncovers political corruption, media manipulation, and moral compromise. Tautly plotted and darkly ironic, the novel introduces Herron’s trademark blend of procedural realism, ethical ambiguity, and sharply observed character psychology.
