Killing the Shadows

by Val McDermid

Killing the Shadows by Val McDermid, a Viking/Penguin Books Canada hardcover first published in 2000. This is the first Canadian edition and first printing, with the complete number line retaining the number 1, and it includes the original dust jacket. The title page is signed and personally inscribed by McDermid to Peter with best wishes.

This standalone psychological crime thriller follows academic psychologist Fiona Cameron, whose analytical methods are called upon when crime writers begin dying in ways drawn from their own fictional murders. As the danger moves closer to Fiona’s partner, thriller writer Kit Martin, the investigation becomes a race to identify a killer who deliberately confuses the boundaries between fiction and real violence. The novel was a 2002 Barry Award nominee for Best British Crime Novel.

The seller grades the book Very Good. Light shelf and edge wear is visible on the dust jacket, including mild wear or creasing near the lower-left corner. The photographed title and copyright pages appear clean, and the inscription and signature are clear. No additional defects or odors have been disclosed.

Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and show the actual copy being offered. The book will be packaged carefully to help protect both the hardcover and dust jacket in transit.
