N.Y.: Arcade Publishing, Inc., 1998. 1st North American edition, so stated, 2nd printing. A fine copy of the trade paperback. WINNER of the NED KELLY PRIZE FOR CRIME FICTION, Australia's Edgar Award. Angelo Agnelli has been Minister for the Arts for twelve hours and already artists have started killing themselves. Or so it seems when Marcus Taylor's body is fished from the Arts Centre moat. Was it really an act of protest over the state of arts funding? And what's the political damage if the suicide note becomes public? The career of Murray Whelan, minder and general dogsbody to the hapless Agnelli, hangs by its usual slender thread. If he can put the fix in here, he might have a chance of staying employed. But as Murray soon discovers, in the world of culture vultures they don't just sit around waiting for you to die before they start tearing the flesh off your bones.. 1st Ed. Pictorial Wrappers. Fine.

N.Y.: Soho Crime, 2014. 1st ed. A fine, unread copy of the Advance Uncopyedited Edition, due out June, 2014. 309 pages. Constable Paul Hirschhausen "Hirsch" is a recently demoted detective sent from Adelaide, Australias southernmost booming metropolis, to Tiverton, a one-road town in rustic, backwater "wool and wheat" country three hours north. Hirsch is more than just a disgraced cop, a rumored whistle-blower; the internal investigations bureau is still trying to convict him of something, even if it means planting evidence, and someone has a bullet theyd like to put in his head -- as has been made clear by the pistol cartridge left in his mailbox. Hirsch is just trying to keep his job, but the tiny town of Tiverton has more crime than one lone cop should have to handle. The stagnant economy, rural isolation, and entrenched racism and misogyny mean every case Hirsch investigates is a new basket of snakes. When the body of a 16-year-old local girl is found on the…
