India, 1922. At the request of the Maharajah, an old ally of the British, Scotland Yard detective Joe Sandilands finds himself in the princely state of Ranipur. A man-eating tiger is terrorising the northern villages, and he is to join a hunting party to kill it. But the quality of the weaponry supplied raises Joe's suspicions. While the Holland & Holland rifle is perfect for tiger, the issue of a Browning M man-stopping pistol is odd to say the least! In Ranipur, the Maharajah is dying, and the succession unclear. His first son is dead, killed by a panther. But the circumstances are unclear - was it misadventure, or is a killer prowling the corridors of the palace? Then a second son dies, leaving only one (the favourite in British eyes) who is just twelve. Can Joe and Edgar ensure his survival? Amid the glittering and luxurious court, with its array of powerful, scheming characters, and under the mocking eye of the ruthless chief of state police, Joe must find his way through the maze of intrigue to corner, at last, the palace tiger. Fourth in the Joe Sandilands series

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.
