About This Item
New York: Bantam Books, 1987. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/good. Signed and inscribed by the author in black sharpie across the title page, "To Allen Peterson - Best wishes, Louis L'amour." The signature has a brief line under it. Also laid in at front is a note paper that helps with authentication. Black boards with a black cloth spine, in dustjacket, 1st edition. A very good copy, with bumping at the lower corners and a thin scrape to the bottom edge of the text block. Binding is tight as if unread, and the pages are clean. Unclipped jacket is not quite as good - bending and scuffs at the jacket corners and folds, and general shelf-wear to the panel edges - still bright and clean. 357 pp., nicely signed by this western legend.
Synopsis
The Haunted Mesa is a science fiction novel by Louis L'Amour, set in the American Southwest amidst the ruins of the Anasazi. L'Amour attempts, as in others of his works, to suggest a reasonable explanation for the phenomena attributed to The Bermuda Triangle -- i.e. , portals between worlds or different facets of this world. The same phenomenon is used, albeit in a very minor way, in his novel The Californios.
