About This Item
New York: Viking Press, 1992. Advance Reading Copy (ARC) . Large Softcover. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. This is an "Advance Uncorrected Proofs" copy - often referred to as an "Advance Reading Copy" [or ARC] and an "Unedited, Uncorrected Page Proof" - fast becoming an attractive collectible, as it precedes the First Edition. Private detective Hector Belacoaran Shayne [a Mexican "Sam Spade"] is forced to make his way through a perilous and complex labyrinth of corruption, betrayal, cover-up, and death as he investigates two strange murders and a mysterious fortune in Mexico City. This work appears here in an excellent translation by William I. Neumann. 161 pages - *** plus a laid-in promotional letter from the publisher. CONDITION: a bright, tight, square, unmarked, uncreased, likely unread copy with negligible shelf-wear. This handsome, highly collectible copy is now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag.
