The copy presents exceptionally well, housed in its original, unclipped dust jacket (retaining the £18.99 flap price), which remains vibrant and entirely free from fading, creasing, or notable edge-wear.

Consequently, surviving first editions that have avoided library stamps, circulation wear, and general degradation are uncommonly scarce on the open market. Finding a pristine, author-inscribed copy adds a significant layer of collectability for enthusiasts of modern British crime fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eWhen private investigator Phyllida Moon is approached by the usually unflappable Chief Maurice Kendrick, she finds herself drawn into the sinister orbit of a local cult promising life after death. Kendrick is wrung with anxiety over his niece's dangerous involvement with the group, prompting Phyllida to go undercover as an affable new acolyte named Miss Lubbock. But when the sect's young followers begin leaping from a sheer cliff into the sea, the investigation takes a harrowing turn. Phyllida must unravel the dark, esoteric truths hidden beyond the grave to determine whether these tragic deaths are the result of brainwashed suicide, or calculated, cold-blooded murder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53760704905555,"sku":"4071-RM-FS-VG-4","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260609_141047.jpg?v=1781014181","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/easeful-death-eileen-dewhurst-1st-edition-signed-inscribed","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
