Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. 196 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's black boards with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Having succeeded in bilking an interested publisher out of a $500,000 advance while still holding on to the manuscript of his long- awaited second novel, '60s survivor Jock MacLeod, the Pied Piper of the Apocalypse, takes off on a self-guided literary tour of Britain. His old buddy, PI Randall Gatsby Sierra, dispatched to look for him before he runs into too much trouble, follows his trail to Canterbury, York, West Lulworth (home of ``Dover Beach'' and fetching barmaid Emma Poole), Bath (where two men, a Scot and a Pict who've been following MacLeod, nearly kill Gat), Stratford-upon-Avon (where Gat hears about MacLeod's extemporized Rappin' Romeo), Oxford (where Gat reads a note from MacLeod theorizing that the mind-altering datura plant actually consumes plutonium), and Workington (just upwind from the Sellafield nuclear plant), before a shaggy-dog finale at Stonehenge. Hill's own stint at Oxford seems to have inspired this British remake of Gat's American odyssey What Rough Beast? (1992), but without that book's bracing sense of growling evil. This jokey picture- postcard tour is too busy wallowing in the counterculture to do anything with it. Condition: A fine copy in like jacket.…

Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter black cloth with gilt lettering to spine over grey boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Smart, sophisticated Isobel Behringer was a third-generation New York woman. With her grandmother's wit and determination, and her mother's sense of style, she knew how to take care of herself. At least she thought she did. When she finally decided to marry her lover, psychiatrist Peter Arlen, she knew she would have to give up some of her cherished independence. She also realized that she would have to learn a few well-established rules about life in Pete's sprawling East Side apartment. The first commandment was "Thou shalt not trespass during office hours." Isobel tried to obey, but it was not easy for someone with her feisty spirit. Still, it all went smoothly enough for a while. But soon odd things began to happen. First, there was the strange disappearance of a pair of Isobel's pumps, then the disturbing defacement of her hand-painted umbrella. More alarming were the anonymous phone calls and menacing letters; even her cat, Welch, was being threatened. As the hate mail escalated. Isobel became increasingly suspicious of everyone around her. The mounting tensions take a toll on Isobel's marriage and ultimately lead to a violent encounter with a deranged stalker who is obviously obsessed with the idea of eliminating her from Pete's life. Too Close for Comfort is both a riveting story of psychological suspense and a novel of genuine emotional depth. Condition: A near fine copy in a fine jacket.…

Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter red cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. A Chicago police detective, perilously close to breakdown himself, must track down a crazed newspaper reporter who's taken to executing Mafiosi without a warrant. Police Lieutenant James Dela doesn't get much rest. A compulsive worker who sticks his nose into everything, Dela is also a compulsive walker who pounds out the miles on Chicago sidewalks, patrolling the city instead of sleeping. But Dela's just a harmless neurotic compared to fellow Chicagoan Vince Benedetto. When Benedetto was a lad, his pre-vatican II grandma, a religious maniac whose likes we are unlikely to see again, used to lock him in closets until he would confess to his basic corruption. As a result, he's rather badly scarred. Unable to be a normal husband, let alone a modern helpmate to his long-suffering wife, unsuitable as a father to his devoted son, unable to break out of suburban newspapers and unwanted by the Chicago dailies, Benedetto cracks. He decides to wipe out the corruption of organized crime in the city, something sure to please Grandma in Heaven. And one by one he starts to pick off the bosses. The public, goaded by the megalomaniac newspaper columnist whom Benedetto idolizes, is thrilled. Even the cops have mixed feelings. But Benedetto goes too far, strangling the secretary he lusts after and terrorizing his family, and Lt. Dela drops everything to track him down.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. 215 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's quarter grey cloth with silver lettering to spine over beige boards in original pictorial wrappers. First edition. More farfetched and cutesy than previous outings for Washington/Oregon narratorshamus John Denson (Decoys, 30 For a Harry), this strained caper begins when Denson stumbles on a woman's dead body while fishing in the North Umpqua River. The corpse is quickly identified as that of Kathryn Marsden, daughter of a Shakespearean scholar. But why, then, doesn't the body have the buttocks-birthmark of the real Kathryn? And why have the Marsden parents disappeared? Could it have to do with a manuscript of a lost Shakespeare play, supposedly proving that the Bard was really (as Prof. Marsden believes) Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford? It could indeed. So Denson is soon chasing around California--examining the buttocks of two other possible real Kathryns (one of whom is an exotic dancer), matching wits with the (late) Prof. Marsden's nemesis: Sir Giles Twigg-Pitchart, anti-de Vere Shakespearean scholar and ruthless intelligence officer. And eventually, after locating the manuscript, Denson sets up a scare for selling it to Sir Giles--with negotiations, scuffles, and skulduggery on board a moving train. Despite flickers of Hoyt's hard-boiled talent here and there: a silly, even a bit smutty comedown for the Denson series, with the zany flair that works in Hoyt's spy-fantasies (The Manna Enzyme, Trotsky's Run) not adapting at all well to the shamus genre.

"Where once was a beautiful wood now stands a desolate field smothered in ash and garbage, and here a young man named Waller has terrorizing encounters with grotesque figures named "the garbagemen." As Waller becomes fascinated with these desperate men who eke out a survival by rooting through their nation's waste, he imagines they are also digging through its past as their government erases its history and walls itself off from the outside world. One of celebrated East German author Wolfgang Hilbig's most accessible and resonant works, The Tidings of the Trees is about the politics that rip us apart, the stories we tell for survival, and the absolute importance of words to nations and people. Featuring some of Hilbig's most striking, poetic, and powerful images, this flawless novella perfectly balances politics and literature.". ISBN 9781931883726 3.80.…
