About This Item
New York: Otto Penzler Books, 1994. Uncorrected Proof . Soft cover. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. This is an "Uncorrected Proof" copy - often referred to, but not quite the same as, an "Advance Reading Copy" [or ARC] - fast becoming an attractive collectible, as it precedes the First Edition. Late at night by posh Gramercy Park, a woman peers into the backseat of a parked car. She's never seen a dead body before, but there's enough blood that she has no doubt what she's looking at. She remembers seeing a strange man nearby, and the police use her fuzzy identification and a few other bits of tenuous evidence to finger Billy Sowell, an alcoholic bum with limited intelligence and a patchy memory, as the killer. Who cares if he's guilty? Billy's an easy conviction, and his case is forgotten until years later, when it falls in the lap of PI Marty Blake. 310 pages, with a publisher's promotional letter laid-in. CONDITION: a bright, tight, square, unmarked, uncreased, likely unread copy with minimal shelf-wear. This attractive, collectible copy is now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag.
