British Pound
Product Description
A unique crime debut novel - original and very odd. Set in Notting Dale, West London; it sees the remnant of cult like “primitive” New Guinea tribe living in large Victorian house, and maintaining or adapting their tribal customs amid London life, a process studied and shared by their protector, a female anthropologist. One of their number is killed, and Pibble — intelligent, unassertive, tends to get assigned to off-beat cases that will bring no one any kudos — investigates.
Originally published in 1968, this is the 1981 Penguin reprint
