Notes:
Very Good+ signed first edition. Signed "Donna Tartt" on the half-title page. Clear acetate dust jacket has shelfwear. The edges are nearly flawless except for a couple of small, hardly noticeable markings on the bottom. The bottom edge also has a few pages that are slightly creased, as if the slid across something when it was shelved one time. Otherwise near perfect copy.

But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality their lives are changed profoundly and forever, and they discover how hard it can be to truly live and how easy it is to kill.
