Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 330 pages. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's quarter black cloth with red gilt lettering to spine in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. This unusual cop story set in Chicago ends with a whimper but offers moments that glitter with insight and gritty, urban realism. The brutal murder of a topless dancer sends Chicago cop Joe Kiley and his longtime partner on an unofficial hunt for the victim's boyfriend, the brother of a mob kingpin. Kiley, a wary loner who seems aimed toward self-destruction, is distraught when his partner is killed in the course of their probings. His guilt is not eased when the dead dancer's twin sister comes on to him or when he and his partner's widow are drawn together. Although the dancer's murderer is soon determined not be the mobster's brother, Kiley stays on that trail, which leads him to a city bar where organized crime and a powerful gang come together. Howard (Quicksilver) doesn't give us a nice-guy hero in Joe and litters his work with crude acts of bigotry and rank prejudice. His villains are named early and his characterizations are uneven, but this graphic depiction of urban and emotional decay carries a powerful, lasting punch. Condition: A near fine copy in like jacket.

Fine in dust jacket (bright yellow) shows very faint soiling else near fine.fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR at title page. NOT A REMAINDER as so many of this title seem to be. "Chicago detective Joe Kiley wants revenge. His partner, Nick Bianco, was murdered while investigating the death of a young stripper. Kiley and Bianco both thought the girl's death was connected to a local mobster, but when a janitor at the club where the girl worked confesses to the crime, Bianco's murder becomes even more puzzling. What did he see on his stakeout? At every step, Kiley's investigation is stonewalled from within, forcing him to conclude that the department doesn't want Nick's killer found. He continues to investigate Nick's death with the help of a female officer, who promptly dies in an iffy suicide. Now Kiley has two deaths to avenge. And he does so brilliantly with a combination of dogged police work and brutal street justice. Howard, an Edgar award winner and frequent nominee, has created an unforgettable protagonist in Kiley and presented him with a series of crises and moral dilemmas. Kiley makes his choices and lives with the consequences like the stand-up guy he is." -- Booklist. Book.
