When the affable owner of a checkered-tablecloth restaurant in Little Italy is cut down by the bullets of a pair of ski-masked thugs, 5th Precinct Police Detective Reardon has his hands too full to give a damn about some odd things going on uptown. For instance, why does a noted Madison Avenue art lover suddenly decide to sell his entire collection in an effort to raise a cool million? And why was a well-known Arab oil magnate assassinated? Almost too late, Reardon sees the connection between the deaths of a multi-millionaire and a small-time restaurateur, and the fluctuations in the international markets for crude oil, fine art, and precious metals. And now that he knows the truth, just how long has he got to live? Condition: Near fine in fine jacket.

Soft cover. Etat : Good. 1st Edition. 191 pages with photographs, diagrams and index. Royal octavo (9" x 6") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. The Grünfeld Defence (ECO codes D70D99) is a chess opening characterized by the moves: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 d5. Black offers White the possibility of 4.cxd5, which may be followed by 4.Nxd5 and 5.e4, giving White an imposing central pawn duo. If White does not take the d5-pawn, Black may eventually play .dxc4, when a White response of e4 again leads to the same pawn structure. In classical opening theory this imposing pawn centre was held to give White a large advantage, but the hypermodern school, which was coming to the fore in the 1920s, held that a large pawn centre could be a liability rather than an asset. The Grünfeld is therefore a key hypermodern opening, showing in stark terms how a large pawn centre can either be a powerful battering ram or a target for attack. Condition: Edge wear with some damp staining, corners bumped, rubbed and creased, soiled else good.

The second appearance of New York PI Gwenn Ramadge confirms the propitious launch, in A Wreath for the Bride , of veteran mystery writer O'Donnell's newest series (she also writes the two series starring Norah Mulcahaney and Mici Anhalt). Emma Trent, a dance teacher and young widow now married to older executive Douglas Trent, returns home one night to find her husband bludgeoned to death in an apparent burglary. Because her first husband, another older man, also died while she was out of the house, she is a natural suspect. Then Adam McClure, one of Emma's young male students, kills himself after police find the baseball bats he and his friend Paulie Kellen used to commit the murder; Adam leaves a note incriminating Emma, who hires Gwenn to clear her name. Gwenn, who battles police detective Lew Sackler, whom she is dating, and police sergeant Ray Dixon for facts in the case, redoubles her efforts when Paulie is found shot to death. The kind-hearted, tough female PI resolves the tale with a neat twist. Condition: Near fine in fine jacket.
