SIGNED BOOKS NOW AVAILABLE
Where the Dead Lay by David Levien once again features Frank Behr who was introduced in City of the Sun. This series is terrific, obviously a writer to watch! A Hard Boiled Club Selection. $25.00
The Devil’s Company by David Liss brings back Benjamin Weaver. It is 1722 and Weaver, ruffian and ex-boxer, is blackmailed into stealing documents from the most powerful corporation of the time: the British East India Company. But this is only the first move in a daring conspiracy which finds Weaver infiltrating the Company to uncover a secret plot of corporate rivals, foreign spies, and government operatives. $25.00
Colum McCann just stopped by to sign his latest, Let The Great World Spin. This literary novel, set against the backdrop of New York City in the 1970s, tells the stories of a group of New Yorkers in that gritty time. At the center of these stories is the "artistic crime of the century" - a tightrope walker balances between the Twin Towers. An Unclassifiable Club Selection. $25.00
SIGNED FROM THE UK
A limited edition of 250 numbered and signed copies of The Angel’s Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon was produced in the UK. We were only able to get four of these, so its going to be first come, first served. Wish we had more. $50.00
FOR THE COLLECTOR
CRIPPEN & LANDRU (PART THREE)
This small publishing house has specialized in bringing out beautifully produced short story collections by the greatest mystery writers of the 20th century, as well as some who have been under-appreciated or neglected by all except the most sophisticated aficionados. We have recently had the good fortune to purchase a complete collection of these important books, all in hardcover and in perfect, as new condition. If you have been collecting these, here’s a good opportunity to fill in whatever gaps you may have. You might also want to consider collecting them if you haven’t already done so, or you may find new titles here that are certain to reward you with excellent reading, as the publisher has excellent taste in choosing which authors to publish. Every book listed is a first edition. Most of the limited editions are signed and include a separate pamphlet laid in with a story not included in the paperback edition.
