Death and the Princess

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. 1982. First American Edition. Hardcover. [nice tight clean copy, no discernible wear, former owner's name plus date & place of purchase written in ink at top of front endpaper; the jacket shows just the tiniest bit of surface wear]. "The queen is not amused, not one little big. Murder and royalty just don't mix. When voluptuous young Princess Helena's lovers and associates start turning up dead, Buckingham Palace wants to know why. Scotland Yard is upset too, especially when it learns that a royalty-loving crook named Snobby Driscoll revealed on his prison deathbed that the authorities should 'take care of Princess Helena. There's something up. Something nasty.'" This was a review copy, with the original publisher's slip laid in. .
