A photographer struggles to understand a stranger's suicide
There's nothing special about the woman's death. It comes over the police radio like any other sad story: a woman found on the sidewalk, killed after plunging from her apartment. But something about the gruesome scene grabs David Corman's attention. A freelance photographer with a defunct marriage and a career on the skids, he fixates on this mysterious death. Though near starvation, the woman had been buying formula to feed to a baby doll. Before she leapt, she tossed the plastic child out the window.
David photographs the dead woman and her pretend child; although he's jaded, the strange scene stirs his compassion, and he begins researching her past. He's convinced that his job has shown him the worst the city has to offer. But learning the truth behind this futile suicide will teach David that New York is even uglier than he imagined.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. First Edition. First edition with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. "This is first-rate crime noir and much more; it is the affecting story of a man forced to choose among painful alternatives that compromise his independence. Freelance photographer David Corman is "the type of guy who ought to have a board hanging over his chest, saying 'No sale.' . . . Not 'Loser.' . . . Just 'No Sale.' " He has thrown away career, marriage, and security in pursuit of his obsession with capturing in one "single exquisite photograph . . . what . . . really happened." He sits at night in his apartment, listening to police broadcasts, waiting for the call to go out after another snapshot of New York's underside. When an unknown woman throws herself from the fifth-floor window of a Hell's Kitchen tenement, Corman pursues her history, seeking a story to sell. He is unprepared for what he finds. Two-time Edgar award nominee Cook has written a haunting story of great emotional depth, which contains within it a first-rate detective story." -- Library Journal. Book. N° de réf. du vendeur 014112
