About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Saint Martin's Press, LLC, 1996. First edition, so stated, November 1996. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. SIGNED by Satterthwait at title page. Rita Mondragon is lying comatose and near death in a Santa Fe hospital, and her normally even-tempered partner and paramour, private detective Joshua Croft, is on a razor’s edge. This is the second time Rita’s been shot by Ernie Martinez—the first was years ago when he killed her husband and put Rita in a wheelchair—and now the recently escaped convict is on the run with his equally twisted cellmate Luiz Lucero. Despite a massive police manhunt, and warnings from the FBI and the DEA to back off, Croft sets out to capture the killers himself. As the crazed convicts leave a trail of murder and destruction behind them--from New Mexico to Las Vegas to Denver and across Kansas and Texas--one by one, their pursuers drop by the wayside. Suddenly a strange twist of fate has left only one man hunter remaining-- Joshua Croft -- in a breathtaking kill-or-be-killed climax in the Florida Everglades.. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book.
