The Last Twist of the Knife

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1946.

Price: $650.00

Hardcover. First edition. A bookplate on the front fly, else very near fine in near fine dustwrapper with a faint crease on the spine. Wealthy Laguna Beach playboy is stabbed to death during a film screening in Sun Valley. Very uncommon title, the second and final mystery by the second (and final) wife of Malcolm Lowry. A recent article in *The New Yorker* raised substantial questions as to whether Bonner should have been implicated in Lowry's demise, a death that was labeled at the time as accidental.
