One Last Breath
One Last Breath is Stephen Booth’s fifth Cooper and Fry mystery, a psychological crime novel set amid the caverns, villages and dramatic landscape of England’s Peak District. Detectives Ben Cooper and Diane Fry investigate after convicted killer Mansell Quinn is released from prison and his former wife is found dead, raising questions about revenge, the original conviction and who may be targeted next. The novel was shortlisted for the 2006 Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year.
This is the 2004 HarperCollins hardcover first edition and first printing, with the complete number line retaining 1. ISBN 0007172028. It is flat signed by Stephen Booth directly on the title page, without a dedication or recipient’s name. Grey-blue ink transfer or smudging on the copyright page supports that the signature was applied by hand. Also included is a “Signed by the author” bookmark from Victoria College at the University of Toronto.
The book and dust jacket are in Very Good condition. There is a very minor scratch on the front dust jacket and minor age-related page toning. The dust jacket is now protected by a removable clear plastic cover. Please inspect all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and show the actual copy, signature, copyright information, bookmark and representative condition.
An appealing signed first printing for collectors of British crime fiction, Stephen Booth’s Cooper and Fry series, and mysteries set in the Peak District.
