Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. 358 pages. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6") bound in original publisher's quarter beige cloth with gilt lettering to spine over purple boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Miami attorney Gail Connor plunges into volatile Cuban-American p…olitics in her third heady adventure (after Suspicion of Guilt.) When Gail's client, the Miami Opera, hires fast-rising singer Thomas Nolan to star in Don Giovanni, opera managers learn that Nolan recently performed in Havana. Much of Miami's Cuban community sees any such appearance as support for the hated Fidel Castro. Gail asks her fiance, Cuban-born lawyer Anthony Quintana, to intervene with the local exiles. Complicating matters is the fact that Anthony's brother-in-law, Octavio Reyes, leads the anti-Nolan talk on a Miami radio station. Just before a planned appearance on the Reyes show, Seth Greer, an old friend of Quintana and opera director Rebecca Dixon, is shot to death. Because the exiles, however passionate, seldom resort to violence, Gail wonders if Greer's death is related to his long-ago revolutionary work with Quintana and Rebecca in Nicaragua. The possibility leads her to wonder if her lover, who is adamantly secretive about his own history, could be the killer? The story and cast at first seem formulaic: the ever competent heroine, the macho but tender Latin lover, life among wealthy Miamians. The narrative triumphs, however, thanks to Parker's rich mix of tropical politics, edgy romance and secrets from the past. Condition: Jacket with light edge wear with some closed tears else a near fine copy in a very good to fine jacket.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. 342 pages. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine over beige boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition review copy with review statement laid in. Murder is the least of the chic…anery at an L.A. fertility clinic in this tautly-moving tale. Even before her fiancÇ disappears, Dr. Lisa Brockman has bad feelings about the death of Chelsea Wright. The waitress had taken $2500 to serve as an anonymous egg donor to Lisa's Westwood clinic in order to tide herself over until she could start earning money as a teacher. Now that she's dead, though, she may cost the clinic thousands of times that amount. Someone has started a rumor that instead of implanting infertile women with their own fertilized eggs, the clinic has been switching eggs, leaving its clients pregnant with the children of strangers. The most devastating accusation--that Orthodox Jewish client Naomi Hoffman's eggs, so conscientiously shepherded at every step of the implantation process by a shomer tasked with insuring that her baby will be her own, are really Chelsea's--is turning out, despite all apparent evidence to the contrary, to be the hardest to disprove. Now Naomi and her husband, a rabbinic student, are going bonkers; Chelsea's grieving parents are preparing to sue for custody of the baby they're convinced is their grandchild; reporters across town have emblazoned the clinic on their Rolodexes; and it's all falling to Lisa to sort out, because the clinic director, her fiancÇ Dr. Matthew Gordon, has taken a powder--or been murdered to keep his mouth shut. Suddenly, Lisa finds her life (literally) threatened and (figuratively) falling apart. Beginning with a guided tour of current research on infertility problems and solutions, Krich (Speak No Evil, 1996, etc.) expertly ratchets up the tension (should Lisa trust the advances of fellow clinician Sam Davidson? What will happen if she goes undercover as an ob/gyn patient herself? How can she disprove the thickening legal allegations?), saving a few choice surprises for dessert. Krich makes use of the suspense formula to put a hot-button issue--the problems of parenthood in the age of fertility clinics--under the knife. Condition: Small bumped to head edge else a near fine copy in like jacket.

Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter black cloth with gilt lettering to spine over black boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition.Ian Laidlaw is an equable man. Quiet, cultivated, efficient, head of the p…olitical science department at a Scottish university. His uneventful days are measured out with scrupulous care until Alicia Anna Davie laughs in his face one afternoon--and his ordered world crumbles about him. There is another side to Ian Laidlaw, a side that matches the scarred horror of the left side of his face, mangled in youth by a vicious hound. This side draws Alicia into a bizarre relationship; but as she toys with ugliness and danger, Laidlaw becomes locked into an obsessive passion at once disorienting and hideously destructive. Alicia's crime is the carelessness of youth--Laidlaw's punishment reflects the dislocation of his universe. A near fine copy in like jacket.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. 384 pages. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's quarter black paper spine with blue lettering to spine over blue boards with blind stamped pictorial to cover in original pictorial jacket. First edition. The opening scene of Fer…rigno's third crime novel (after The Cheshire Moon) is a reminder of how good and tough this West Coast-cool author can be: as two killers invade the home of California Superior Court Judge Teddy Krammerson, the judge meets death with dignity, but not before slamming one of his attackers in the face with a telephone (""`You have no idea how good that felt,'' he said. breathing hard, his eyes calm as smoke. `Opportunity knocks. I always answer.'""). In the face of rampant evil, the judge's stepson, investigative reporter Quinn, shows similar courage as he digs into the murder. The web of deceit involving new ripples from long-ago crimes that Quinn uncovers is so tangled, so ultra-Chandleresque, that the reader yearns for some violent action to cut it clean. But there's no relief until the final chapters, when Ferrigno thrusts Quinn into two shockingly bloody battles. Along the way, a gallery of memorable characters-the two killers, eccentric and scary angels of death; their wealthy, corrupt patron; Quinn's mysterious family friend who reappears after 28 years in prison-boost the sleuthing. And an affecting subplot about Quinn's loyalties in love-he is torn between his girlfriend and his estranged wife and daughter-enriches the tale. But finally, poor pacing and spaghetti plotting render what could have been a minor crime classic into just an above-average thriller. 150,000 first printing; $250,000 ad/promo; Literary Guild and Mystery Guild featured alternates. Condition: A near fine copy in a fine jacket.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 300 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound i original publisher's black boards with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. When a traveling opera troupe visits stately Bolitho Court to raise money for a local hospice, few…in the audience can imagine the seething cauldron of suppressed violence that lies beneath the greasepaint smiles. After the Floria Tosca Grand Opera Company has spent a month on the road together, the pressure of sexual and musical rivalry has become unbearable for more than one member of the group. Not so surprising in a company that includes the dark and predatory Maria, her talented rival Isabelle, a professionally and sexually harassed musical director, and Rupert, who's barely in control of his drinking problem. So when death comes, it seems more inevitable than shocking. But then a second body is found. Condition: A fine copy in a near fine jacket.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 340 pages. Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's quarter green cloth with gilt lettering to spine over green boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Set in New Orleans, the hometown of Hock's new wife, black actress R…uby Flagg, Thrown-Away Child is a pungent Creole stew of family secrets, sour politics, ritual murder, and bittersweet revenge. Hoping for respite from his hard-drinking past in Manhattan, Hock travels to the fabled Land of Dreams with Ruby to meet her close-knit family. Hardly have the newlyweds arrived when the peaceful home of Hock's mother-in-law, Violet, is disrupted by two racist cops hunting for Ruby's cousin Perry Duclat, who has been living with Violet since his mother abandoned him. Now this thrown-away child is a grown and troubled man, wanted for murder. The victim is Perry's former cellmate at Angola penitentiary, whose mutilated body has been branded with a bizarre acronym - MOMS. When Perry disappears, Hock teams up with a disenchanted New Orleans cop to conduct a highly unofficial Investigation. Before justice is finally done, there are more brutal murders - and more brandings. Among the slain: a little boy so alone in the world he can only guess at his name. Besides the terrible murders, Hock must resolve personal quandaries: the meaning of Ruby's unsettling emotions about returning to her southern roots, and his own future - if any - with the New York Police Department. Condition: Remainder mark to heal end pages else very good in a near fine jacket.
