2010ref. ABE-5137374723Mclehose Press Quercus London 2010 SIGNED & DATED on the 8th April in London. A first novel of huge quality with great praise from Justin Cartwright and others. This meant that first printings rapidly disappeared and this superbly written novel went into several hardback printings. THIS IS A FIRST PRINTING NOW RARE AND SOUGHT AFTER in this pristine state. The author has signed the book on the title page. Worthy of a prize or two anyone reading this must end it hoping the author will be getting his next work ready. It has a sinuous and elegant prose style and the characters involve the reader at several levels. Very hard to find in an unread signed first this has been carefully stored and the perfect new jacket is sleeved in mylar. One of the finest first novels of the last few years I look forward to the author's next work. PUBLISHER RELEASE: "Henry Cage seemed to have it all. A successful business career considerable wealth and a reputation for being a just and principled man. But public virtues can conceal private failings and as Hen! ry faces retirement his well-ordered life begins to unravel. On the eve of the new millennium he is the victim of a random act of violence which soon escalates into a prolonged persecution with tragic consequences. Family secrets are revealed and when his ex-wife Nessa summons Henry to Palm Beach he realises that there is little time to redress the mistakes of the past. The Upright Piano Player explores with a tender yet unflinching eye the small but devastating flaws in human nature that can shape our destinies."
