The Ferguson Affair.

ROSS MACDONALD

Publication: Alfred A Knopf, 1960, New York

First edition. Top staining somewhat faded, former owner's name embossed on front fly leaf, else fine in price-clipped dust jacket lightly toned on the rear cover and lightly rubbed at top corner of front cover. Bill Gunnarson, a young California lawyer, is hired to clear a nurse's name from accusations of theft. What begins as a case involving serial burglaries quickly becomes increasingly complex as murder and kidnapping are added into the mix ... all of which are tied to ill-fated relationships and family dysfunctions years in the making. A handsome copy with none of the usual fading to the mustard yellow of the spine panel. Housed in a cloth slipcase.
