Seller's Description:
Near Fine in Near Fine jacket. Book 1st edition with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in dust jacket (bright yellow) shows very faint soiling else near fine. fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR at title page. NOT A REMAINDER as so many of this title seem to be. "Chicago detective Joe Kiley wants revenge. His partner, Nick Bianco, was murdered while investigating the death of a young stripper. Kiley and Bianco both thought the girl's death was connected to a local mobster, but when a janitor at the club where the girl worked confesses to the crime, Bianco's murder becomes even more puzzling. What did he see on his stakeout? At every step, Kiley's investigation is stonewalled from within, forcing him to conclude that the department doesn't want Nick's killer found. He continues to investigate Nick's death with the help of a female officer, who promptly dies in an iffy suicide. Now Kiley has two deaths to avenge. And he does so brilliantly with a combination of dogged police work and brutal street justice. Howard, an Edgar award winner and frequent nominee, has created an unforgettable protagonist in Kiley and presented him with a series of crises and moral dilemmas. Kiley makes his choices and lives with the consequences like the stand-up guy he is."--Booklist.
