‎New York NY U.S.A.: Delacorte Press 1990. 1st ed. with complete number line beginning with 1. In protective mylar dust jacket cover fine in fine dust jacket. INSCRIBED by Barnes . "Although the title may suggest a Western setting Coyote brings back to familiar Boston territory six-foot-tall flame-haired sleuth Carlotta Carlyle. This time the ex-cop and sometime cab-driver prowls overcrowded apartments where illegal aliens rest--and sometimes find their final resting places--after their ill-paid labors. Carlotta's latest case is neatly tied in with her sensitively depicted relationship with Paolina a child she has befriended through the Big Sister program who has led a troubled alien Manuela Estafan to Carlotta. But when Manuela disappears and her I.D. is found on the mutilated body of a murder victim Carlotta's investigations--running parallel to work done by her cop-friend Mooney--reveal the work of a "coyote"--one who exploits illegal aliens. The case also teaches Carlotta a surprising lesson: much like male private eyes of yore Carlotta looks at the opposite sex in sexually stereotyped terms. When her libido overcomes her better judgment she makes an error that could prove fatal. Carlotta is at her best when she focuses on the personal plight of the individuals who make up the nameless legion of potential deportees. While discovering the truth about them she convincingly provides wisdom and comfort to the child she adores. Inscribed Copy. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book. Delacorte Press Hardcover‎

"In the ever-increasing crowd of admirable female PIs Boston-based Carlotta Carlyle is a stand-out and not just for her red hair and 6' 1" frame. Self-possessed and confident she's also short-tempered restless and skeptical. On a referral from a neighboring psychiatrist Carlotta is hired by Emily Woodrow a distraught surburbanite whose seven-year-old daughter has recently died of leukemia at a local hospital. Emily suspects her daughter's death may not have been inevitable but she disappears before sending Carlotta some promised evidence. At the same time 11-year-old Paolina Carlotta's Colombian "sister" in the Big Sisters Organization begins to hang around with a thug in his mid-20s. Following a twisted trail accompanied by an abundance of quirky recognizable characters Carlotta takes on the hospital's smugly authoritarian medical staff uncovering a decidedly un-Hippocratic scheme and tries to prevent Paolina from leaving the country to search for her drug-baron father.

Cover illustration by Christopher Zacharow. The 2nd Blanche Hampton of Scotland Yard. "Scotland Yard detective superintendent Blanche Hampton as plucky harassed and emotionally stretched a heroine as one could imagine must track down a cannibalistic serial killer in this wrenching work that fulfills the promise of A Midsummer Night's Killing . Barnes interweaves the lonelyheart laments of both killer and cop to create a highly effective narrative. The murderer is David Parker an obsessive accountant who becomes unglued with the death of a domineering mother. Meanwhile Blanche a six-foot-tall divorcee faces sexism at work and the tribulations of single life after hours. David is soon compulsively washing his hands hearing voices avoiding his fiancee and eventually killing--and cannibalizing--a succession of women he meets through newspaper ads. Although his identity is clear from the start what remains to be revealed are both the event that lies at the root of his behavior and the tie that binds one hunter to the other. Barnes subtly chronicles David's descent into outright madness displaying here as elsewhere the choice edgy style of a new author with an assuredly incandescent future." -- Publishers Weekly.

"Barr lands another successful entry in the solid series featuring Anna Pigeon the down-to-earth National Park Service ranger last seen in A Superior Death 1994. The daily problems at Mesa Verde National Park are mostly straightforward although Ted Greeley the contractor installing a water line tends to irritate folks especially the park archeologist incensed about Greeley's indifference to buried Anasazi artifacts and Patsy Silva a park secretary is getting "weird" messages from her ex-husband who has joined Greeley's crew. The summer takes on darker hues when ranger Stacy Meyers panics so badly during the evacuation of an asthmatic child that he is useless. Soon afterward Stacy vanishes; his corpse is found tucked away in the park in a scene of death that is "pathologically neat." Anna is assigned to assist Frederick Stanton the deceptively "vague and bumbling" FBI agent sent in on the case; as they match wits with an unknown adversary their working relationship takes on warmer tones than at their last meeting. Despite being troubled by memories of her late husband and her increasing fondness for alcohol Anna usually displays that common sense and appreciation for nature that makes her such good company.

‎LIVIA First Lady of Imperial Rome‎

‎Book has minor bump to 1 corner. DJ now in mylar. ; 1.23 x 9.46 x 6.36 Inches; 464 pages; Livia (58 B.C.-A.D. 29)-the wife of the first Roman emperor, Caesar Augustus, and mother of the second, Tiberius-wielded power at the center of Roman politics for most of her long life. Livia has been portrayed as a cunning and sinister schemer, but in this biography (the first in English devoted to her) Livia emerges as a much more complex individual. Achieving influence unprecedented for a woman, she won support and even affection from her contemporaries and was widely revered after her death. <P>Anthony A. Barrett, author of acclaimed biographies of Caligula and Agrippina, here examines Livia's life and her role in Roman politics. He recounts the events of her life, from her early days as a member of the wealthy and powerful Claudian family through her final conflicts with the new Emperor Tiberius. Barrett also considers how Livia helped shape the pattern of Roman government that prevailed for the next four centuries.‎
