Publication: London, Raven Books, 2024
Formatting: 8vo, pp. 352.
Condition Report: Near Fine. The original dust jacket is vibrant, intact, and presents exceptionally well with only the most marginal hints of handling. The black publisher's boards are remarkably sharp, clean, and rigid, bearing bright silver lettering to the spine. The binding remains tight, square, and seemingly unread. Internally, the pages are crisp, bright, and completely free of any ownership marks or inscriptions. There is merely a faint, superficial dusting of spots to the bottom edge of the text block, which does not intrude upon the pages. Overall, an excellent, highly presentable copy.
Catalogue Note: This is a true first edition, first printing, as confirmed by the complete number line (2 4 6 8 10 9 7 5 3 1) on the copyright page. Published in the UK by Raven Books (an imprint of Bloomsbury) in March 2024, this hardcover edition is a superb example of Imran Mahmood’s contemporary crime writing.
As a recent release, this title remains widely available on the open market and is not considered scarce.
For the past seventeen years, Harry and Zara King’s world has revolved entirely around their daughter, Sophie. When she suddenly vanishes without a trace, the lives they knew are instantly destroyed. Six weeks into an agonizing and fruitless police investigation, the desperate parents turn their fractured attention to the only house on their street whose occupant flatly refuses to answer the door. Told through alternating perspectives and a gripping dual timeline, Finding Sophie is a deeply moving, claustrophobic psychological thriller that masterfully examines the devastating weight of grief and the terrifying extremes of parental love.

Book Condition Guide
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| New | A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage. |
| As New | The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years. |
| Fine | The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked. |
| Near Fine | The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition. |
| Very Good | The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present. |
| Good | A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy. |
| Fair | A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity. |
| Poor | A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance. |
