No owner's name or bookplate. Novel. From the Dust Jacket: "On rare occasions, a story appears that is so riveting in its action, so gut-wrenching in its realism, and so heart-shaking in its human reach, that it grabs its readers and doesn't let go. LadyGold is such a story... Amato is a former NYPD detective who left the force and became a Legal Aid attorney. Her reasons for going over to the other side are shared by Gerry Conte, the detective in LadyGold who is assigned to baby-sit a young mobster-turned-informant who is being kept 'on ice' while he is telling what he knows and can learn." Amato was the real-life basis for the female cop played by actress Colleen Camp in the film, Die Hard with a Vengeance, also starring Bruce Willis. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. Illus. by Twomey, Anne (jacket design) . 354pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

About About Books

About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
