Product Description
by Sue Grafton.
New York: Henry Holt and Company, (1986).
First edition, first printing.
First printing number code sequence 1 through 10 to the copyright page, $14.95 and 0586 date code to the jacket's flap.
SIGNED neatly in an early black felt signature style to the title page by the Edgar Grand Master, five-time Anthony, three-time Shamus, and Diamond Dagger Awards winning late author.
The third mystery featuring private detective Kinsey Millhone set in the fictitious town of Santa Teresa, California (a nod to Ross Macdonald who first used the town in his mysteries).
Grafton blazed the trail for modern women detective characters in these early novels, with real-seeming, smart but ordinary, breezy and wise-cracking Millhone, who was not glamorous, not model pretty, never called 'feisty', not two-dimensional, and not sport for humor.
Winner of the Anthony Award.
A very presentable first printing SIGNED collectible.
Fine, square, crisp and quite tight in textured gray boards with silver embossed titles to the spine, black-and-white headband and tail-band; in a fine dust jacket with still bold and unfaded spine titles, with front panel art design by Abby Kagan; original printed $14.95 price and date code 0586 still intact to the front inner flap, lovely early author photo by Starke Jett to the rear flap.
NO remainder mark.
