About this copy
This is the first edition of the second novel in Barbara Cleverly's Detective Joe Sandilands series, set in 1920s Simla during the British Raj. The copyright page states 'First published in Great Britain 2002' with no subsequent reprint line, consistent with a first printing. The book is bound in green cloth boards and housed in its original glossy dust jacket, featuring a striking peacock-feather design by Ken Leeder, priced £16.99 on the front flap (not price-clipped).
The title page carries a handwritten signature reading 'Barbara Cleverly'; while this appears consistent with the author's name, we are not authentication experts and cannot formally verify the signature, so please judge from the photos provided.
