About This Item
Shingletown, California: Mark V. Ziesing, 1993. First edition, 1993. Hardback. 91pp. Black cloth boards with red design to upper board and red lettering to spine. Dust jacket. It's about a clever, high-verbal black guy named Rudy Pairis who once got it on with his friend Allison Roche, who is a Deputy District Attorney; and Ally, who is just by chance a white woman, is the one who put on Death Row a human killing machine named Henry Lake Spanning; and now Ally wants Rudy to go on down to Holman Prison, onto Death Row, to have a chat with this monster Henry Lake Spanning. Why's she want him to do that? Relentlessly readable. Book in near fine condition. Dust jacket very good. Unclipped. A little light edge wear and some slight discolouration.
