Description:
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Morrow, 1989. 1st edition with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. INSCRIBED and dated year of publication. "An unidentified corpse found in a hotel room. A baffled police investigator turning for help to a cynical, disillusioned private investigator. A few fistfights, a bit of sex and red herrings galore. These may seem no more than typical conventions for a detective novel of the hard-boiled school. But U.S.S.A. is far more. Its setting is the near future, in a Russia conquered by the U.S. after WW III, which ended not in Armageddon, but with the failure of Soviet missile systems to function. Madsen ( Black Plume ) convincingly depicts an occupation more entrepreneurial than military. Yesterday's enemies are today's customers: Golden Arches and the Goodyear Blimp, American Express and 7-11, all have emigrated; a Disneyland is under construction in Moscow. Private eye Dan Joplin, a CIA…

Trade paperback, light soiling at page edges else near fine. The polite Piedmont town of Hillston, North Carolina, wants to go on believing it is still too temperate to require homicide experts. But when the wife of a state senator is found beaten to death, the inner circle of Hillston's ruling families arranges to have the case assigned to Detective Justin Savile, the charming black sheep of the dynasty that founded the town. Aided by his wise-cracking, working-class partner, Cuddy Magnum, and a young woman from the Carolina mountains whose strength and love rescues him from his own destructive impulses, Savile sets out to unravel the deceit hidden in Hillston's past.

N.Y.: Mysterious Press, 2001. 1st edition, May 2001, with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. A NERO AWARD NOMINEE... "In this eighth book in the Judge Deborah Knott series (after 2000's Storm Track), Maron employs spare, straightforward prose and the languid language of the Carolina Piedmont to spin an exceptionally gripping tale of hate, jealousy and murder. Still smarting from the betrayal of her lover, Kidd Chapin, the redoubtable jurist travels to Randolph County, N.C., in order to settle the equitable distribution of the marital property of a pair of freshly divorced potters, Sandra Kay Nordan and James Lucas Nordan. Before she can finish her legal duties, however, somebody bakes James Lucas in a kiln. Deborah's own sense of loss in the wake of Kidd's rejection helps her empathize with patriarch Amos Nordan's multiple tragedies (another son died two years earlier) as well as a hired…
