The Death of Donna Whalen

by Michael Winter

A Canadian first edition, first printing of The Death of Donna Whalen by Michael Winter, published by Hamish Hamilton Canada in 2010. This hardcover copy includes its dust jacket and has a complete number line beginning with 1.

The title page bears a personalized inscription dated 9 October 2013 and is signed by Michael Winter. Drawing upon court testimony, statements, wiretaps, and other records, Winter constructs a work of documentary fiction around a 1990s St. John’s murder investigation and wrongful conviction. Its many competing voices examine class, addiction, police pressure, memory, and the difficulties of arriving at justice. The novel was a 2010 finalist for the Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize.

The book is in Good condition, with noticeable bumping and fraying at the lower board corners. The dust jacket has light rubbing and edge wear and is now protected by clear removable plastic. The pages are generally clean.

Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and show the edition, inscription, jacket, and other copy details.
