Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 257 pages. Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's black cloth with silver lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Another chapter in the Victorian Age adventure of no-nonsense Sergeant Bragg and his aristocrati…c partner Constable Morton, as the two maneuver the hazards of London's police bureaucracy while trying to solve the stabbing murder of industrialist Andrew Livesey. There's evidence that Livesey, in collusion with other businessmen-engineers, was trying to steal the patent on Alfred Nobel's new gunpowder--as well as evidence that Livesey consorted with child prostitutes and had not lived with his wife Sarah for most of their ten-year-marriage. The discovery that Mary Tompkins, a 12-year-old prostitute, was killed with the same distinctive weapon as Livesey leads Bragg and Morton through some sordid byways of London society, their burden increased by two more murders, until the tangled motives behind Livesey's death come clear. Literate and informative, as always with this series, but too disjointed and discursive to rank with the author's best. Condition: Back heal edge bumped, remainder mark at heal end pages. Jacket closed tear at back heal corner and hinge else a near fine copy in like jacket.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 292 pages. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's red cloth with silver lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. The Shaft successes behind him, Tidyman has written a somewhat more seriously intentioned novel of… Cleveland detectives during an all too body-filled period of two or three days -- hard rain, black sky, a cold wind coming down off Lake Erie, and a killer cop as a hit man for the local Mafia. The reader is swept from scene to bleak scene of violence, sinister pizza parlors, bars, hijackings, gunnings, rapes with plenty of police procedure. Detective James Dempsey, aging, balding, divorced by a frigid wife who boils like a screaming kettle whenever he tries to visit his kids, is an empty man who sells his soul to the big hoods and plans to start over in South America when his nest egg outweighs his leaden heart. But the department has finally started looking into the six deaths for which he's responsible. While the Mafia steps up its truck heists, Dempsey gets paid to rub out a driver-stoolie. He's also into some mad athletics with a throaty singer. His demise brings fair irony -- strong enough for a flick -- but Tidyman's fake grim humor never rises above the crime entertainment level even if he has something more ambitious in mind. Still it might do well. Condition: Corners gently bumped, small tape stain to front paste down. Jacket lightly soiled, 2 inch by 1 inch jagged tear to spine head extending to back else very good in like jacket.

Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6") bound in original publisher's quarter brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine over beige boards with gilt lettering to cover in original pictorial jacket. First edition. In "Deathbed," the eighth book in a serie…s by acclaimed mystery writer William X. Kienzle, Father Robert Koesler takes on a temporary tour of duty as chaplain in a Detroit hospital whose dark passageways lead eventually to murder. But along the way, the antics of a security guard, a few nurse's aides, and a bumbling volunteer lead to madcap mayhem in a deft (and daft) counterpoint to the unfolding mystery. "Deathbed" follows the tracks of at least four people in St. Vincent's Hospital in Detroit whose rancor toward a single individual is so great it could translate into violence. The object of their wrath is an indomitable, unsinkable nun in her late sixties who almost single-handedly keeps the inner-city Detroit hospital open. As Father Koesler begins to learn what really goes on in a hospital, he discovers that St. Vincent's beds are used for more than convalescence. And in the Keystone Kop-like gropings in dim corridors, the real question becomes, Who's doing what to whom? Condition: Jacket corners and spine ends chipped and rubbed, back heal corner with tear and chip light edge wear.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. xiv+273 pages with plates, maps and index. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's quarter maroon cloth with black lettering to spine over beige boards blind-stamped with title in original pictorial jacket. First edition. "The Red King…'s Rebellion," fought more than three hundred years ago between the Algonquian peoples and New England settlers, was in per-capita terms the bloodiest war in our nation's history. Before the conflict ended, over 9,000 people were dead (two-thirds of them Native Americans), and homelessness, starvation, and economic hardship plagued the descendents of both races for generations to come. In this fascinating book, Russell Bourne examines the epic struggle from both sides, seeking to explain how the biracial harmony that once reigned--when the Plymouth Colony's neighboring Wampanoags, under the stately Massasoit (King Philip's father), shared their corn with desperate settlers--could degenerate into such mistrust and hatred. More than just a war, Bourne shows how it was a simultaneous rebellion on many fronts against inequalities practiced by white settlers, and demonstrates how it constituted a massive and tragic breakdown of colonial civilization. Condition: Remainder mark on heal end pages. Jacket edges and spine lightly sunned else better than very good in like jacket.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 304 pages. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6") bound in original publisher's black boards with red lettering to spine and pictorial cover in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Another grisly series of religion-tinged Detroit murders to be solved by Fat…her Robert Koesler (The Rosary Murders, 1979)--while the Detroit cops and Detroit news-folk also sleuth at length. The victims: a top racketeer, a top pimp, an abortion-mill doctor, a con-man, etc.--all evil types (Kienzle shows them in action) whose decapitated heads are discovered in sacred spots around Detroit's Catholic churches (in the Cardinal's ornamental hat, on statues of saints). There are virtually no followable clues (except phony ones implicating priests) till figures of disreputable St. Expeditus are found at the homes of two victims, implying. . . voodoo. That's a bit hard to take (though cobra venom is also involved), as are the pseudo-sane motive for the killings (a ""statement on the nature of evil"") and Kienzle's unconvincing portrayal of the various deaths (all the dying wrongdoers hallucinate and die of fright in exactly the same way, with their victims materializing before their eyes). Furthermore, the multitude of sleuths and the repetitiousness of the murders combine to produce a meandering focus. Still, much of the dialogue is snappy, there are assorted running gags (black-comic, silly, erudite), and those with a taste for both ecclesiastical hijinks and low-down gore will find this energetic Condition: Dust wrapper rubbed at spine head else very good to fine in a very good to fine dust jacket.
