Wesley, Valerie Wilson
WHEN DEATH COMES STEALING SIGNED COPY AWARD FINALIST
New York NY U.S.A.: Putnam 1994. 1st ed. fine in dust jacket with two small nicks. Author's first book featuring Tamara Hayle a black single-mom and former cop turned private investigator. SIGNED COPY signature only by the author on the title page. A SHAMUS AWARD FINALIST for Best First Novel. "In her adult fiction debut Essence magazine executive editor Wesley introduces a decisive independent PI and single mother as heroine but sets her in a transparent formulaic plot. Tamara Hayle a divorced ex-cop and her 14-year-old son Jamal live in Newark N.J. not far from Jamal's father DeWayne who has three other sons by three different women. Ordinarily Tamara has no sympathy for DeWayne but when one of his sons dies of what the cops say is a drug overdose she agrees to DeWayne's request that she investigate the young man's apartment. She finds a neat room with fresh food in the fridge and extra money carefully stashed away--not the expected residence of a cocaine addict. When another of DeWayne's sons drowns in a bathtub five days later and another is shot soon after that Tamara becomes terrified for Jamal's safety. Wesley creates a broad interesting cast from gentle Jamal to a suave violent-tempered Jamaican who tries to seduce Tamara but too little is revealed of the PI herself. The book's strength lies in its portrayal of black family life in dangerous times--future installments of this promised series will have to fill us in on Tamara." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY.

West Atlantic Land Co
West Atlantic: Venice of America
Atlantic City New Jersey: Atlantic City Daily Press 1902. Near-fine. A couple small short tears. Minor toning. Original illustrated poster and price list advertising prospective lots in the West Atlantic development in Atlantic City New Jersey. Styled as the "Venice of America" the new development hoped to target the upper class in search of a European-esque summer holiday destination. The poster includes prospective sketches of the buildings; the price list includes prices for dozens of lots/blocks within the development. A revealing record of how new developments were being marketed to the American public in 1902.<br /> <br /> Printed poster measures 23" by 16.75". Price list is single vol. 6" by 4" pp. 8 stapled in original printed wrps. The development does not appear to have been successful if the company's inclusion in a 1906 list of "Obsolete Securities" is any indication. Atlantic City Daily Press unknown
