By Clark Howard. "The true account of the 179 days of terror in San Francisco," aka the San Francisco Zebra murders of the early '70s. And if you think this cover is lurid, you should see the paperback...
...but the hardcover is in okay shape. The jacket has edgewear and a 3/4-inch rip at the bottom front near the spine, as well as a sticker ghost or two; the spine leans forward, and the page edges are foxed. But they're clean inside; this is a fine reading copy of an Edgar nominee.
