CF1 - A tight, clean, sound copy in red paper covered boards quarter bound in white cloth with gold lettering on the spine with very minor overall shelf wear with a very light remainder mark on the top outside paper edges. The main character is a woman failure analyst engineer. Her next project is to analyze the fatal collapse of an amusement park ride. During the process, she begins receiving mysterious messages, apparently from her younger sister who died in India ten years earlier. The investigator returns to Bombay, India and begins looking into her sister's role in a suspect ashram connected to the ritual sacrifice of a young boy and burned to the ground by an infuriated mob. The dust jacket shows very minor overall shelf wear with some very light scattered rubbing. By the author of "Hurricane Season." 211p. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Livre Edition originale
Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. 211 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter beige cloth with gilt lettering to spine over red boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Marina Robinson, a top investigator with ""Breakdown, Inc."" in California (""we're engineers who investigate why things go wrong""), is hard at work on a challenging case: Why did the Loopy Doop ride collapse at Fun World? Was there negligence in maintenance--or some weakness in the metal itself? Then, however, Marina becomes increasingly distracted from her work--when she starts receiving cryptic notes, even a blurry phone call, from her younger sister Catherine in India. . .who's been dead for ten years! Could Catherine somehow be alive, despite evidence that she died in an ashram fire? Marina must find out--so, dropping the Loopy Doop case, she's off to Bombay, as flashbacks start to fill in the 1970s story: Catherine's involvement in a quasi-Hindu, serpent-worshipping cult; Marina's trip to India to bring Catherine back; the riot of locals against the heretical cult--ending in the ashram fire and the reported suicide of sexy cult-leader Nagarajan (who seduced Marina too). Meanwhile, in present-day Bombay, guilt-ridden Marina tries to track down the source of those letters and phone-calls--with help from young Indian Vijay, a prim watchdog from the nervous American Embassy. Their sleuthing soon suggests that cult-leader Nagarajan may still be alive; in fact, Marina and Vijay (budding lovers) are then kidnapped by Nagarajan's criminal gang. And finally, after a showdown and shootout with evil, charismatic Nagarajan, Marina can return home--without Catherine or Vijay, but with her old sexual guilts exorcised. . . and still be in time to explain the Loopy Doop disaster, fingering the culprit who sent her on the India wild-goose chase. An odd, half-satisfying blend of hackneyed romantic-suspense, tinny psychology (serpentine phallic symbols, etc.), and okay mystery--with some of the charm (if little of the humor) that made Friedman's mystery-debut, Hurricane Season, such an offbeat winner. Condition: A very good copy in a near fine jacket.
