Description:
Boston, MA, U.S.A.: Houghton Mifflin, 1994. 1st ed., with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in dust jacket, not price clipped, with protective mylar cover. SIGNED COPY. Signed by Kotzwinkle on half-title page. Jimmy McShane has seen plenty, but he's never seen anything like the murder of Tommy Rennseler. A wealthy antiques dealer with a passion for Egyptian artifacts, Rennseler was killed like an ancient Egyptian: injected with cobra venom and ritually disembowelled. When he's hired by the dead man's daughter, McShane realizes that he's never seen anything like Temple Rennseler, either. She's beautiful, exotic and - obsessed with the Game of 30, a centuries-old form of chess that - perhaps - foretells the future. As McShane gets closer to the killer, he finds himself trapped in a more deadly game, with Manhattan as the gameboard.. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book.
