Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. In November 1978, Britain is on strike. The dead lie unburied, garbage piles in the streets--and in West London a black woman dies in a rain-filled gutter. Known as "Mad Annie," she was despised by her neighbors. Her passing would have gone unmourned and unnoticed but for the young woman who finds her and who believes that Annie was murdered. Something passed between Annie and Mrs. Ranelagh in the moment of death that binds this one woman to her cause for twenty years. But why is Mrs. Ranelagh so convinced it was murder, when, by her own account, Annie died without speaking? Why does the subject make her husband so angry that he refuses to talk about what happened that night? And why would any woman spend twenty painstaking years uncovering the truth-unless her reasons are personal? Solid binding. Moderate edgewear on the boards. Moderate shelf wear.

It is 1978 in London - the winter of discontent. Strikes are an everyday occurrence and the Ranelaghs' neighbour, Mad Annie, is discovered dying in the gutter, almost obscured by piles of rubbish. The other residents of Graham Road do little to disguise their satisfaction at her death and in this environment of growing racial and class unrest, M. Ranelagh, the narrator, takes up a solitary, and dangerously unpopular, defence against the vilification of Mad Annie. So dangerous that M. and her husband Sam flee the poisonous climate of England. Twenty years later, the return from overseas and M. now begins acting on her secretly and painstakingly collected research to piece together what really happened. But is it justice for Annie's murder she's after or is it revenge for something very different? *** Quantity Available: 1. Category: Fiction; Crime; ISBN: 1587241560. ISBN/EAN: 9781587241567.
