Knight's Gambit

First edition of this short story collection by the Nobel Prize-winning author. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket, with light chipping on the top and bottom jacket spine. Publisher's bright red cloth with gilt in fine condition. A lovely copy.

In each, Stevens'sharp insights and ingenious detection uncover the underlying motives.
