Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. SIGNED First UK edition-first printing(10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 21).Black hardback cloth binding gilt titling with fine Jacket unclipped. First edition. The acclaim that greeted Johnston's earlier Body Politic, which won the Crime Writers' Association Award for best first crime novel, was accompanied by a fierce debate: Was this a crime novel or a science fiction novel? Similar argument is likely to surround this equally accomplished follow-up, set in 21st-century Edinburgh. But although the trappings may be futuristic, they're not excessively so--this is essentially the hard- boiled Scotland we're familiar with from writers such as Ian Rankin. Johnston again has a flinty satiric edge in his tale of grisly murder. In his oppressive, crime-free independent city state, run by a council of city guardians, a series of murders is upsetting the rigidly regulated status quo. The victims have music tapes planted inside their bodies: and Johnston quickly has his anti- establishment private eye hero Quintilian Dalrymple in the thick of things, struggling with low-life and official corruption (accompanied by his Watson, Davie). When the trail runs cold, Dalrymple finds that the mysterious Bone Yard is the key to the mutilations. All he has to do is figure out what it is. Johnston fills in the fascinating background of his sinister society with seamless skill. Language: eng. Signed by Author.

As poet in residence at Wormwood Scrubs Ken Smith found himself among lifers, desperate men, murderers and people who were toughened in a world of extreme violence.

An owner name on the half-title, but Ken Smith's name is assuredly on the title page itself, without dedication. Signed by Author.
