The publisher's original red binding remains exceptionally tight and perfectly square, with sharp corners and entirely unrubbed edges. The gilt lettering to the spine is bright and unoxidised, presenting beautifully against the cloth. Internally, the text block is clean, crisp, and entirely free from foxing, moisture damage, or previous ownership markings, maintaining bright and supple leaves throughout. The original dust jacket is remarkably well-preserved and remains unclipped (retaining the original £12.95 publisher's price on the front flap). It exhibits strong, vibrant colouring with no fading to the spine or panels, showing only the very faintest hint of microscopic shelf-wear to the extreme upper edges. A superlative, collector-grade copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e True first UK edition of Eileen Dewhurst's gripping mystery novel, published by Judy Piatkus in 1991. The book is bound in the publisher's original red boards with gold gilt lettering. Finding this early 1990s title in such sharp, unsunned, and unmarked condition is uncommonly pleasant for collectors of the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Bob discovers the dead body of his friend Jack's passionate mistress, Caroline, at his home, the two men desperately attempt to conceal her murder. They try to stage the scene to make it look as if Bob's presence there is entirely innocent, but their web of deceit quickly begins to unravel. As Detective Chief Inspector Hewitt takes up the case, an anonymous letter and a shocking second murder attempt further complicate matters, forcing both the guilty and the innocent to confront a terrible truth before it is too late.\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\/section\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53740682805587,"sku":"4076-EV-F-VG-4","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260609_140328.jpg?v=1781011023","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-innocence-of-guilt-eileen-dewhurst-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
