But he might just fall apart when the going gets tough, leading to substance abuse and despair.

She's tenacious and uncompromising, but she needs Rekke's unique mind to help her solve the case. Rekke has it all, wealth, reputation, but also a tendency to throw it all away. He needs Vargas to help him get back on an even keel so he can focus his mind on finding the killer before they're both silenced for good. Quite scarce signed. Signed by Author(s).

With Gift Inscription From Both Of The Translators. Per Wikipedia, Joseph Arthur De Gobineau ( 1816 - 1882) Was A French Aristocrat Who Is Best Known For Helping Introduce Scientific Race Theory And "Racial Demography", And For Developing The Theory Of The Aryan Master Race And Nordicism. Known To His Contemporaries As A Novelist, Diplomat And Travel Writer, He Was An Elitist Who, In The Immediate Aftermath Of The Revolutions Of 1848, Wrote An Essay On The Inequality Of The Human Races. In It He Argued That Aristocrats Were Superior To Commoners And That Aristocrats Possessed More Aryan Genetic Traits Because Of Less Interbreeding With Inferior Races. Gobineau's Writings Were Quickly Praised By White Supremacist, Pro-Slavery Americans Like Josiah C. Nott And Henry Hotze, Who Translated His Book Into English. They Omitted Around 1,000 Pages Of The Original Book, Including Those Parts That Negatively Described Americans As A Racially Mixed Population. Inspiring A Social Movement In Germany Named Gobinism, His Works Were Also Influential On Prominent Antisemites Like Richard Wagner, Wagner's Son-In-Law Houston Stewart Chamberlain, The Romanian Politician Professor A. C. Cuza, And Leaders Of The Nazi Party, Who Later Edited And Re-Published His Work. [The Full Wikipedia Entry Is Almost Unbelievably Appalling, As He Was A Full Blown And Precise Racist In Almost Every Word He Uttered And Every Action He Undertook, And Never Undertook Any Constructive Project In The Real World, Writing From His Own Imagined Interpretation Of Th World, But Served Aristocratic France In Many Diplomatic Posts For Decades Nevertheless].
