The Hundred and Ninety-Nine Steps - first UK edition

by Michel Faber - signed

Author's third book.. Sian, tired of nightmares in which she meets a grisly end, decides she needs to get out more, so she joins an archaeological dig at Whitby Abbey. What she finds is a mystery involving a long-hidden murder, a man with big hands, a fragile manuscript in a bottle, and a rather attractive dog called Hadrian.

Book has black boards with title and author printed on the spine in gold, 12mo, 5" x 7.75". Color illustrations. A lovely copy of a compelling novella.
