Description: Arthur Alfred Partridge, a middle-aged widower with a drab job and a frustrated sense of adventure, gets more than he bargained for when he encounters the irresistible Lisbeth Campion, whose troubles go well beyond her plethora of suitors. She's particularly concerned about her wastrel brother Ronny, fresh from six months in prison for peddling cocaine. In a gloriously implausible but deliciously entertaining sequence of events, Mr Partridge gets swept up in Lisbeth's unusual efforts to get Ronny safely squared. No dust jacket. Orange boards with gilt titles and decoration are in good condition with some fading, rubbing and soiling. Small moisture stain to bottom edge of inside front board, first cover page through to preliminary title page as well as bottom of rear cover page but otherwise internal pages are clean and unmarked.
