Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. Book First edition, June 1990, with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, with protective mylar cover....Kaminsky has garnered both The GRAND MASTER AWARD from Mystery Writers of America, 2006 and THE EYE LIFETIME ACHIEVMENT AWARD, 2007. " PI Toby Peters gets an assignment from Leopold Stokowski. The maestro's rehearsals for Madame Butterfly in 1942 incite anti-Japanese protests at the crumbling San Francisco Opera House while "Erik, " this opera's phantom, kills performers inside. Although Toby's loyal if outlandish buddies arrive to help, Eric eludes them and the murders continue. The detective himself barely escapes death and arrest for killing while he investigates likely suspects: the fake evangelist leading the pickets damning the debasement of noble Lt. Pinkerton; the opera house's eccentric caretaker; a once-hopeful singer with a failing voice. Hardly a pause separate the frightful, madly comic and nostalgic incidents made believable and entertaining in Kaminsky's artful handling. "--PW.
