"In the darkness of a December morning in lower Manhattan's Fulton Fish Market a mob rip-off is under way: Thousands of pounds of fish are calmly 'tapped' - stolen - from wholesalers on the street. It's the price of doing business. But detectives Joe Gregory and Anthony Ryan have not come to Peck Slip to stop fish tapping. They've come to watch a fifty-gallon drum being dumped into the East River by a mobster in a Mets hat. Convinced they're seeing a burial, Gregory and Ryan call in police divers and get a surprise. The dive brings up a barrel, but it's not theirs. Instead, this one is old and rusty, and inside is the body of a man in blue - a cop named Jinx Mulgrew, who disappeared ten years ago."; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. First American edition, December 1990, so stated, with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. Cover illustrtion by Joe Ciardiello. "Returning from Monsieur Pamplemousse Aloft , the eccentric flatfoot/gourmand and Pommes Frites, his clever dog, team up to sniff out clues when a not-so-merry prankster sabotages Le Guide , "France's oldest and most respected food guide." The fictional food bible's staff finds itself in a stew when a false obituary of the director appears in the local paper on the very day the final manuscript--the first edition produced by computer, with influential new restaurant ratings--is to be unveiled at a company celebration. There the director faints dead away when he finds the manuscript completely botched, riddled with missratings and erroneous reviews. Jovial food maven Aristide Pamplemousse, an Inspector Clousseau-meets-Hercule Poirot type, smells something foul when the company's accountant--the sole employee other than the director with access to the computer password--cannot be found. British writer Bond, also the creator of the Paddington Bear children's series, smartly sidesteps cliches about computer crime, instead devising an old-fashioned puzzle with immensely pleasurable characters and pervasive comic zest." -- Publishers Weekly.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. 1st American edition, September 1989, so stated. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. A FINALIST FOR THE LAST LAUGH AWARD. "The fifth in Bond's series about Aristide Pamplemousse, France's premier gourmet guide, begins with a mission right up his allee. Once more, however, a fairly simple task grows into an escapade for M. Pamplemousse and Pommes Frites, his smart little dog. They are driving to Port St. Augustin where Aristide is to advise on epicurean treats offered VIPs on a dirigible flying from France to England, reaffirming the entente cordiale signed by the two nations in 1904. Nothing must fail, but M. Pamplemousse senses threats to the great occasion even before arriving in the seacoast town. A group of oddly behaving nuns; a near-fatal fall by Yasmin, the trapeze artist at the local circus; the snubbing from Aristide's old friend, a British detective; and other events plant suspicions that turn the gastronome into his former self as inspector of police in Paris. The funny, exciting mystery will delight readers who may weep with envy of the feasts that are ordinary fare for M. Pamplemousse and Pommes Frites." -- Publishers Weekly. Ciardiello, Joe (illustrator). Book.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Demon Copperhead meets Les Choristes in this coming-of-age story in chorus, told through the intersecting lives of a group of troubled boys in a home for 'delinquent' young men in the American south in the 1980s\"I don't know about that, sir. We're delinquents,\" said Damico. \"If you give us an inch, we'll take the whole mile.\"Watts laughed us off.\"All I'm saying is there's things we can do different. I'm talking about you fellas helping me get this right. What do you think?\"They came from the streets, the sticks, and every place in between. They've stolen cars, dealt dope and hurt people. They've been hurt themselves. They've been labelled 'delinquents' and cast out from their families - if they ever had a family at all. Their futures promise prison - or worse - but for now, they've been brought together to live in an old house on a hill, and see about getting themselves - and each other - right.Spirited, angry, confused, and misled, these are the boys of Hope House, an institution for 'delinquent' young men in 1980s Kentucky. There is Smoove, named for his distinctive walk after he was shot in both feet back home in Louisville. There's Damico, reported for shoplifting and assault, even though that was only part of the story. There's Bobby, who tells brave tales of adventures of coyotes but goes quiet at the thought of his father. And there's Awol, who can't stop running away, only to return to the place he knows best.Deeply honest and soulful, Hope House is a novel about searching for belonging and lifting each other up; about coming of age into a society that's already closed its doors; about lost boys who grapple with their pasts, dare to imagine different futures, and nurture the almost outrageous hope that they might just turn everything around.

Paperback. Condition: New. Five outstanding plays from the British theatre of the 1960s. This volume contains major works by five of the most important playwrights ot emerge during the late fifties and early sixties. Bold, challenging and iconoclastic, these plays are landmarks of post-war British theatre. Roots by Arnold Wesker focuses on the homecoming of young Beatie Bryant who returns to her family of Norfolk farm workers with stories of her boyfriend Ronnie. Serjeant Musgrave's Dance by John Arden is set in a mining town in the 19th century, with a group of soldiers returned from a colonial war. But when Musgrave is asked to keep the peace with the colliery workers, he decides to do so in a rather unusual way. Loot by Joe Orton is a brilliant parody of the skeleton-in-the-cupboard crime genre, exploding the very notions of English decency, good citizenry and traditional 'positions'. Edward Bond's Early Morning re-imagines the time of Victoria and Albert caught up in a military coup plotted by Disraeli.Peter Barnes' Ruling Class describes the fall out in an aristocratic family after the 14th Earl commits suicide and leaves his estate to a schizophrenic Franciscan friar who is under the illusion that he is Jesus.…
