New York, New York, U.S.A. : Ballantine Books, 1995. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Blind sculptor and sometimes sleuth, Mo Bowdre, relies on his inner vision to solve murder and sabotage during a movie shoot on tribal Indian land. Amidst hostility, the deadly real-life scenario eclipses the one meant for the screen: both the leading man and the authority who leased the tribal land are murdered. Mo and his beautiful Hopi girlfriend, who has a small part in the movie, sort through the movers, shakers and players to solve the murders. Jake Page's intimate knowledge of the history, culture and landscape of the Southwest saturates the first-rate mystery with an authenticity that will affect and touch the reader. Fine, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust cover. [Not remainder-marred or price-cipped] BUND Meighty-eight

About Joe Staats, Bookseller

Modern Literature, Mysteries, and More!
We specialize in collectible, contemporary signed first editions. First edition means the first printing. (Later printings of the first edition are typically not printed on acid-free paper, and should be avoided by collectors.) Signatures are obtained by us in person. Inscribed books sold by us may contain a line, a phrase, or a sketch that the author has chosen to add. Our signed books are not dedicated to anybody in particular (not to your grandmother, your Aunt Gladys, your ex-lover or your former cellmate), except in the rare case of a presentation copy from an author to a noteworthy person. All our books are hardcover, unless the book is an Advance Reading Copy, Uncorrected Proof, or PBO. You can expect that the books we send you will be as described, and in a physical condition worthy of the author’s having signed them. We do not sell remainder-marked books, signed or otherwise
