Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Edition. Doubleday stated first editions during this period by including the words First Edition on the copyright page. This copy features that statement without any subsequent printing history. Set in a rural Hungarian village during the early 20th century, this psychological mystery explores the dark secrets of a tight-knit community. When a young woman is found dead, a local investigation uncovers a history of hidden motives and long-held grievances. The narrative examines the social pressures and personal tragedies that lead to an act of ultimate betrayal. Maria Fagyas, writing under the name M. Fagyas, provides a detailed look at the complexities of justice and vengeance in a setting defined by its isolation and rigid traditions. The book is in very good condition with light shelf wear. The black cloth boards are square and the gilt spine lettering remains bright and reflective. The interior is clean with a tight binding and no markings, though the pages show mild age toning. The dust jacket is unclipped with the original $3.95 price intact. It shows some rubbing along the edges and small chips at the top and bottom of the spine, but it remains structurally sound and presents well.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good+ dj. First British Edition. [very slight discoloration to binding at base of spine, no other discernible wear; the jacket is lightly worn at edges and extremities]. INSCRIBED to Academy Award-winning screenwriter Daniel Taradash and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper: "To Dan / with love over the years / Marika / Palm Springs April 14, 1968." This "horrifying and at first sight incredible story" concerns the mysterious deaths of a number of World War I veterans who have returned to their remote Hungarian village -- deaths at first thought to have been from natural causes, perhaps exacerbated by what today we would call PTSD, but which eventually arouse the suspicions of a young lieutenant, who notes that "their passing seemed unregretted by their widows" or anyone else in the village, and sets out to investigate. The jacket blurb asserts that the narrative "is based on truth; something of the sort did actually happen"; according to Wikipedia, that something was a series of murders in the Hungarian community of Tiszazug in the 1920s. The author was the wife of Hungarian playwright and journalist Ladislaus (aka Leslie) Bus-Fekete. At one point she adapted the novel as a screenplay (an undated draft resides in the Daniel Mann Papers at the Margaret Herrick Library), but nothing ever came of it. Signed by Author.
