Book Condition & Notes
Very good first edition in a very good dust-jacket. Some small tears and marks to the jacket, with some fading and minor scuffs on the hardcover. Some yellowing and foxing to the pages. This book is located in our Brighton store, and may take longer for delivery.
About the book
Inspector Ghote embarks on one of his strangest cases when he is ordered to prevent a murder - the killing of a precious flamingo in the Bombay zoo.
And then there is the racehorse fancied to win the local Derby, which gets replaced by a donkey...
Ghote finds things going disastrously as bit by bit he unearths the traces of a monstrous practical joker. But then the fun stops - and Inspector Ghote has a more serious murder on his hands.
