The interior of the book is in Near Fine condition with no marks, inscriptions, or other signs of ownership.

Withdrawn, uneducated and unloved, Frederick collects butterflies and takes photographs. He is obsessed with a beautiful stranger, the art student Miranda. When he wins the pools he buys a remote Sussex house and calmly abducts Miranda, believing she will grow to love him in time.

Ships promptly in a secure mailer with the book wrapped in both craft paper and bubble wrap.
