Seller's Description:
Very good. Connecting readers with great books since 1972! Used books may not include companion materials, and may have some shelf wear or limited writing. We ship orders daily and Customer Service is our top priority!
Despite the deus ex machina ending, a good but melancholy melodrama about a fellow who does pretty much everything wrong, and suffers the consequences. Contains a memorable villain.
