First edition. Review copy. Pages evenly browned else fine in dust jacket. Peter Marklin investigates the robbery and murder of a man who had a huge and valuable toy car collection. As Marklin, antique toy dealer and amateur sleuth, investigates he soon finds that there is alot more to the case than originally thought. The domineering victim appears to have had a mistress; it also comes to light that he had had numerous clashes with his ambitious business partner; not to mention that his widow had recently joined "Women's Lib," a club whose members would not have approved of her domineering and chauvinistic late husband.
