When Spenser is hired to recover a fourteenth-century manuscript stolen from the university library, his investigations lead him to the Student Committee Against Capitalist Exploitation and to its secretary, Terry Orchard.In the face of two more murders and attempts, first to frighten and then to kill him, Spenser persists, until all the truths are told. First Edition with "First Printing" and "C" on the copyright page. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-14596094725
