[Signed] [First Edition] The Prayer of the Night Shepherd...

First edition, first printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 24 × 15.5cm, 535pp. Signed by Phil Rickman directly to the title page. The sixth Merrily Watkins book. A crumbling hotel on the border of England and Wales has long been linked with the possible origins of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles and his obsession with contacting the dead. Fascinating for young Jane Watkins, flushed with the freedom of her first weekend job. But the sinister side soon becomes apparent to her mother, Merrily, diocesan exorcist for Hereford. Then come memories of a child who killed. And blood in the fresh snow. Condition: This copy is in very good condition. There are a few spots of foxing to the fore-edges at the start and finish of the book but otherwise a nice clean copy. The wrapper is now in a protective sleeve and has not been price-clipped.

Estimate:£43.29
