Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First Edition. First U.S. edition, so stated, September 2001 with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. The highly anticipated sequel to the Award Winning "Death From The Woods". Features Elise Andrioli. "After her first adventure (described in the first book), Elise and her maid and companion, Yvette, are headed for the mountains for some R&R. Elise has had another operation and she can now move one arm, but she is still unable to communicate except to write down her thoughts and her questions for others--if only they'll take the time to read them. Before leaving, Elise receives a fax from somebody who tells her he has become a big fan of hers after reading about her first adventure. She is concerned because the guy sounds like a lunatic, but, she reasons, all famous people are subject to hearing from people several sandwiches short of a picnic. However, when Elise arrives at the resort, she hears about a series of grisly murders and, when she is invited to visit a home for the handicapped, she is treated like a star. But the murders continue there. Worse, the murderer is there among the patients, whispering messages into Elise's ear. As in Death from the Woods, the stage is set. Elise is in danger but can't explain why, and the murderer inexplicably is using her as his/her confidante. Those around her who can see are in the company of the murderer, but there is no way Elise can separate the voices from the whispers she hears. Death from the Snows is harrowing, suspenseful, and, thanks to Elise's unique voice, which can only be read, extraordinarily funny. --Otto Penzler. Book.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First Edition. First edition, so stated, April 2000 with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. Aubert is a major French writer of thrillers. This is her first book to be translated into English. WINNER OF THE GRAND PRIX DE LITERATURE POLICIERE. Very small print run of the first English language edition. "In centering her thriller around a main character who is not only a quadriplegic but blind and mute as well, French author Aubert sets herself a difficult task, but she acquits herself brilliantly. While on vacation in Ireland, 36-year-old Elise Andrioli is horribly injured in Belfast by a car bomb that kills her boyfriend and five others. Back at home in the suburbs of Paris, the French cinema owner is confined to a wheelchair, but she can still hear and think. Elise's astute thoughts, together with the crisp dialogue of the people she encounters and her keen and often humorous commentary on their one-sided conversations with her, fuel this dazzling whodunit. Befriended by Virginie, an odd little girl who whispers terrifying observations about someone she's dubbed "Death from the Woods," Elise learns the grisly details of a series of child murders, including that of Virginie's older half-brother, Renaud. When the precocious child admits that she knows who the culprit is, Elise is plunged into a dizzying universe. Virginie, her parents and the investigator in pursuit of the killer all confide in her. As Elise makes physical progress from her single method of communicating-lifting an index finder to signal "yes"-to regaining some dexterity in her left hand and arm, the plot becomes increasingly complicated. Elise suspects first one and then another of the adults in Virginie's world of committing the heinous crimes, and finally she becomes a target herself. Throughout the intensely suspenseful story, chock-full of unexpected twists and turns, Aubert expertly captures the myriad frustrations of someone confined by severe physical limitations. Never stooping to melodrama or pity, she uses Elise's marvelous sense of humor and intellect to create an unforgettable character.". Book.…

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 279 pages. Published in 2000. The author's breakthrough mystery novel. One of the most sensational literary debuts of our time. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Brigitte Aubert's "Death From The Woods" in a felicitous English translation by David L. Koral. Her brilliant first novel, and masterpiece. "Elise Andrioli has been left blind, mute, and quadriplegic after a terrorist bomb explosion in Northern Ireland. Back in the small suburb outside Paris where she now lives, Elise leads a solitary life except for the contact that she has with her caretakers. However, a series of grisly local murders has shaken the residents. Young boys have been disappearing only to be discovered a day later, dead and horribly mutilated. One morning, while waiting in her wheelchair outside a supermarket, Elise is approached by a small girl named Virginie, who confides that she was present when 'Death From The Woods' murdered Michael, a boy reported missing several days earlier. Later that afternoon, Michael's death is confirmed on the local news. There are plenty of twists and turns in this crisply translated story, and readers, far from feeling sorry for Elise, will find themselves cheering on this gutsy woman as she uses her remarkable intellect to keep herself out of danger and bring the murderer to justice" (Otto Penzler). An absolute "must-have" title for Brigitte Aubert collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed (initialled) and inscribed in blue ink-pen on the title page by the author: "Bien cordialement [Cordially], Brigitte Aubert. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. There is no recipient named. This title is a contemporary mystery classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is the single most beautiful signed copy we have ever seen. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. Winner of the prestigious Grand Prix de Litterature Policiere, the equivalent of the Edgar Allan Poe Award, in 1997 for "Death From The Woods". One of the most brilliant mystery/thriller writers of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 1566491096. Signed by Author. …
