Koms van die Motman
Lesers ken al vir Ella Neser en die spoke uit haar verlede. Dis al elf jaar dat haar pa in ‘n koma lê nadat ‘n hy tydens ‘n polisieondersoek geskiet is. Wanneer hy versmoor word kort nadat sy skieter, Arthur Wilkie, op parool vrygelaat is, word sy gedwing om hierdie deel van haar verlede te konfronteer. Nog mense word vermoor, mense wat Wilkie in die tronk leer ken het. Ella besef die moordenaar het ‘n spesifieke rede waarom hy die grusame moorde pleeg en die liggame poseer, maar wat sê hy daarmee? Tussen die warboel inligting wat sy bekom en waaruit sy probeer sin maak, is daar een gemeenskaplike faktor: ‘n spesifieke soort mot word op elke moordtoneel gevind. In kenmerkende Karsten-styl kombineer hierdie speurverhaal die teenstrydigheid van karakters met verfynde, gekultiveerde smaak te midde van grusame moorde.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
