‎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.

‎THE HONOR FARM‎

‎New York New York U.S.A.: Pocket Books 1996. First edition so stated December 1996 with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket not price clipped in protective mylar cover. "On Long Island Vietnam vet and Nassau County cop Orin Boyd returning from Exit Wounds is still only a uniformed cop largely because of his frank contempt for authority. Breaking up an apparent assault Boyd knocks around crooked right-wing State Senator Tommy Cotton aka "Senator Sewer". Cotton wants Boyd's head. But Police Commissioner David Trimble has a plan of his own: in exchange for Boyd copping a plea for assault thus satisfying Cotton and doing six months in the county's "country club" jail he'll grant Boyd a gold shieldon the further condition that while in jail Boyd investigate the death of Trimble's son who allegedly hanged himself with one day left in an 18-month sentence. Shortly after Boyd's arrival at the "farm" there's another "suicide" and the surfacing of many motley suspects. The top con there an ex-PBA leader looking for Boyd's legendary stash of ill-gotten money begins a computer campaign to dry up Boyd's bank accounts and to frame his wife for embezzlement. Boyd's boat is sunk his house is torched and his wife and little daughter are stalked by a hit man. Westermann who worked 20 years as a Long Island cop brings plenty of colorful detail to the novel and to Boyd who's smart funny and not above taking the law into his own hands. The pacing is relentless and the uncovering of secrets old and new will keep readers glued as they're plunged into a Long Island that's way beyond Levittown." -- Publishers Weekly . First Edition.

‎DON'T ASK‎

‎New York NY U.S.A.: Mysterious Press 1993. 1st ed. A fine unread copy of this Dortmunder title. "Westlake fans who should comprise the entire American reading public will cheer the hilarious return of Manhattan con man John Dortmunder and his friends from their comic misadventures upstate in Drowned Hopes . The caper here turns on the femur of St. Ferghana a 15th-century relic claimed by rival Eastern European governments in the newly created nations of Tsergovia and Votskojek. Whichever country is awarded ownership of the bone by a dim archbishop will gain the one available seat in the U.N. A Tsergovian cousin of Dortmunder's pal Tiny Butcher convinces the nefarious crew including Stan Murch Andy Kelp and others to steal the bone from the Votskojek embassy currently a boat berthed in the East River. Dortmunder's plan fails at the last minute leaving the bone under Coast Guard custody on Governor's Island half the gang in the DEA's hands and Dortmunder in a dungeon watched over by the Frankenstein-like Dr. Zorn. Dortmunder's escape and a few botched rectifying thefts occur before the lugubrious conman conceives an elaborately devious final job that involves impeccably timed crimes in New York City in Vermont at the ski chateau of an international hotelier with a $6 million art collection and an eye on the new Eastern European market and at the Rivers of Blood Cathedral in Votskojek's capital. With laugh-out-loud dialogue perfectly aimed wit and characters who leap off the page this latest Dortmunder tale proves again that Westlake is a country unto himself. Don't ask go visit." -- Publisher's Weekly. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book. Mysterious Press Hardcover‎
