007256 Simon and Schuster New York, NY, U.S.A. 1969 First Printing Dust Jacket Good Hard Cover Good White treated paper on boards. Volume is worn on the edges, through to the boards on the bottom corners, one bottom rear corner bumped. Covers are soiled from dust prints. Erasure mark on the fep corner. Jacket is worn on the edges, a small closed tear at the top edge rear panel. Now in clear cover. "Cover her With Roses is a fine first mystery, a sharply honed work of fiction of unusual subtlety and perception; and its central character is one whom you won't likely forget. He is Holden Jones, a young college senior who has everything going for him. However he is slated for the electric chair by Police Captain Marvin Witt who want to become the next D.A. He is a corrupt cop, but he is honestly convinced that Holden is guilty, and he has the proof to back his conviction. The cat-and-mouse game that unfolds between this cocky young kid and the tough, seasoned cop is pathetic in its inequality and stunning in its conclusion." $20.00USD
