First Lady

First Edition. Signed by Author Cloth. Here is a Very Fine copy of a modern mystery by Michael Malone. Mr. Malone has received international acclaim for his Uncivil Seasons and Time's Witness. Often compared by critics to Dickens for his vivid characters and the breadth of his fictional landscape, Malone here introduces his readers to another gallery of memorable southerners. Published in 2001 by Sourcebooks Landmark, this copy is in as new condition . The dustjacket is also very fine with no rips or tears and it is not price-clipped. In a quiet Southern college town, a young woman's body is found mutilated, tagged and addressed to the local Police Lieutenant and Police Chief. The media and the mayor demand a suspect but police have no idea who the victim is, and, worse yet, they have no leads. Their only clue is that she is wearing nothing but a Guess T-shirt, like another woman found dead a few months earlier. We are pleased to send pictures on request.
