Campbell's elegant writing documents Burke Basile, a narcotics officer in the NOPD, who's driven by his own guilty conscience to seek revenge for the shooting death of his partner and the acquittal of the man charged with the crime. The target of his vengeance is Pinkie Duvall, a wealthy and powerful crime boss. On top of this thrilling story, the cover is also beautifully designed and created by the brilliant illustrator Quentin Blake. Very fine condition due to fitted dust cover, on conver however, some light marks due to age and use.
