The Kill-Off

New York: Lion, 1957. No. LL-142. First Edition, a paperback original. A crime novel set in a fading resort town, centering around a gossiping, hypochondriacal shut-in. An interesting experiment for Thompson, in that each chapter continues to the tell the story from a new first-person perspective among the story's characters.

Basis for the 1989 film directed by Maggie Greenwald.

About Very Good in perfect-bound wrappers, with a slight lean, and light tide marks affecting the verso of the front and rear wrappers, along with the top page edges.
