    Patterson, James.
    VIRGIN.

    Edition: First printing.

    New York: McGraw-Hill, (1980.) dj. Hardcover first edition - His 5th novel, a thriller set in what was then the near future (1987) which uses the promises - and the warnings - given by the Virgin Mary to the girls at Fatima as the basis for a chilling story. While perhaps not his best work, this is definitely one of his most difficult titles to find. 252 pp. ISBN: 0-07-0488207.

    Condition: Very good- in a good only dust jacket (some soiling and wear to the edges of the boards, several small chips to the dust jacket edges, original price of 10.95 still present - despite the flaws, this is a tight, straight copy, and the dj is now protected by an archival cover, and the overall appearance is quite reasonable.)
