This is a hardcover, first edition, first printing of this 320-page mystery novel introducing Detective William Warwick. The original price, as shown on the dustjacket front flap, was $28.99. From the dustjacket blurb:“This is not a detective story; this is a story about the making of a detective. . .“William Warwick has always wanted to be a detective, and decides, much to his father's dismay, that rather than become a lawyer like his father, Sir Julian Warwick QC, and his sister Grace, he will join London’s Metropolitan Police Force.“After graduating from university, William begins a career that will define his life: from his early months on the beat under the watchful eye of his first mentor, Constable Fred Yates, to his first high-stakes case as a fledgling detective in Scotland Yard’s Art and Antiques squad. Investigating the theft of a priceless Rembrandt painting from the Fitzmolean Museum, he meets Beth Rainsford, a research assistant at the gallery who he falls hopelessly in love with, even as Beth guards a secret of her own that she’s terrified will come to light.“While William follows the trail of the missing masterpiece, he comes up against suave art collector Miles Faulkner and his brilliant lawyer, Booth Watson QC, who are willing to bend the law to breaking point to stay one step ahead of William. Meanwhile, Miles Faulkner’s wife, Christina, befriends William, but whose side is she really on? “‘Nothing Ventured’ heralds the start of a brand-new series . . . introducing Detective William Warwick, a family man and a detective who will battle throughout his career against a powerful criminal nemesis. Through twists, triumph and tragedy, this series is destined to become one of Archer’s most enduring legacies.”About the author: “Jeffrey Archer is one of the world’s favorite storytellers and has topped the bestseller lists around the world in a career spanning four decades.
