The Auctioneer (Used Hardcover) - Joan Samson

Condition: This book is in Good Condition. There is wear and some tears on the edges of the dust cover. The pages are yellowed with age but are otherwise clean and unmarked.

Harrowing tensions explode in a series of events that could happen anywhere, to anyone, just as they do to John Moore—whose days of freedom run out, who is stripped of his possessions, his courage, and his hopes, by the ominous presence of an insidious stranger impossible to resist.

Published to wide acclaim in 1976, but almost neglected since then, The Auctioneer is a bona fide classic of American literature. The story of John Moore, his wife Mim, and his mother, it is a gripping tale of greed in a small town being quietly overrun by auctioneer Perly Dunsmore.
