Book First Edition
Boards. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. herlock (illustrator). First Edition. 8vo, black boards, Mylar-protected colorful dust jacket (unclipped) illustrated by Dennis Stredney of Watson & Holmes overlooking masquerading figures, [ii] + 250 pages. "In a sea of blackness . . . A bank appraiser, expert at identifying counterfeit papers, is discovered quite dead in London's financial district-but is it from natural causes or a cleverly disguised murder? Sherlock Holmes, ever the brilliant theorist, conducts his own brand of post-mortem as he leads Dr. Watson and a motley crew of confidence men on a precarious chase through the most notorious neighborhoods of London. One primrose path leads to another-from the mystifying futures market to the most sensational costume ball in many a season. Lives, fortunes and careers are the stakes in this deadly game . . . and it's up to the master sleuth and the good doctor to unmask the cunning culprits before another corpse is found. Frank Thomas has adapted this adventure from the memoirs of the esteemed John H. Watson, M.D. The case has been selected precisely because it was a cause célèbre in its day, although a true account of this sensational case has never before been revealed. In a hardcover edition for the first time, Sherlock Holmes and the Masquerade Murders is now a matter of public record, confirming again the stature of the world's greatest consulting detective."--from the jacket flap.

Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 221 pages. Published in 1993. Posthumous Edition of the author's crime novel. The first appearance of the title in hardcover and in the United States. Limited Slipcased Edition of 100 numbered and signed copies. Precedes and should not be confused with the regular trade edition. Published as a hardcover original only and as part of The Armchair Detective Library Series. The Limited Edition is now scarce. An austerely elegant production by Otto Penzler: Regular-sized volume format. Maroon cloth boards with gilt titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Text by Jim Thompson. Introduction by James Ellroy. Matching maroon cloth slipcase. Printed on archival stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Re-presents, in a Limited Edition format, Jim Thompson's "King Blood". Oklahoma! This marks the very first appearance in the United States of the author's 1954 novel, shelved, ignored, re-discovered, and finally issued twenty years later, in 1973, by a British publisher. It is now given the regal Limited Edition treatment by Otto Penzler Books, in 1993, almost forty years later. In a nutshell, Ellroy describes the novel as sub-Shakespeare melded with sub-Erskine Caldwell resulting in sub-Dostoevski. Admittedly not Thompson's greatest work, but then again, sub-Thompson is superior to most other contemporary "bestseller" crime thrillers. Ellroy previously introduced another unjustly neglected novel by Jim Thompson, "Heed The Thunder", in 1991, after the latter languished in "out-of-print" obscurity for 46 years. An absolute "must-have" title for Jim Thompson and James Ellroy collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Slipcased Edition of 100 copies, indicated/numbered as such on the Front Limitation Page. It is very boldly and beautifully numbered and signed in black ink-pen by James Ellroy. This title is a late-modern classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Precedes and should NOT be confused with the regular trade edition. A scarce signed copy thus. Two of the finest American writers in the crime thriller genre. A fine copy.
