Review

Philip Reed doesn't waste any time getting down to business in his second book about a slightly bent but basically good-hearted Los Angeles car dealer named Harold Dodge. On page one, right after a bunch of gangbangers on the 405 freeway give thumbs-up approval to his lime green '64 Chevy Impala SS with 300-horsepower engine, Harold begins to muse: "He had lived here his whole life until he was forced to leave the country last year because of a couple of murders he didn't commit. Now, he was back to straighten things out. Repair the damage he had done to Vikki's life, and his own, and--who knows?--make some nice money in the process." As readers of Reed's Edgar-nominated debut novel, Bird Dog, know, Vikki is the widow of Dodge's former employer, a man killed because of a crooked car deal by the woman who became Harold's lover. Reed's second outing is as complicated, colorful, and full of great cars as his first--and judging by the tire tracks left at the end, there's a good chance that Mark III will soon be in your showrooms. --Dick Adler

Store Description

Welcome to my collection. I'm an older gentleman who's spent decades living among the sun-baked landscapes of the Southwest, and even more time seeking out the ghosts of literature. This isn't your typical, brightly lit chain store; it's a carefully curated selection born from a lifetime of collecting. My passion lies in finding books that are old, hard to find, and truly unique. Think first editions that pre-date ISBNs, obscure regional histories from dusty western towns, beautiful leather-bound classics, and scholarly works long out of print. If a book has a story to tell beyond its pages?a beautiful inscription, a unique provenance, or a cover worn smooth by time?it's likely found a temporary home here. Each listing you see is for a book that has passed through my hands, been inspected by my eyes, and personally described by me. I treat these books with the respect they deserve and strive to provide you with an honest and detailed assessment of their condition. Whether you're looking for a specific gap in your library or simply hunting for that rare piece of history you didn't know existed, I'm here to help you connect with your next literary treasure.
