About This Item
New York: Doubleday, 1998. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. The fourth crime-thriller from Walker, whose first three novels won Edgar, Anthony, Hammet, Agatha and Macavity Awards, features Texas true crime reporter Molly Cates re-opening the investigation of her father's 25-year-old suicide to face an unexpected moral dilemma and to discover a homeless woman's story about a plot to destroy the state legislature is true. Boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square. The mostly black dustjacket shows a touch of surface and edgewear, no tears, no creasing or chipping, not price-clipped. Collectable.
Synopsis
When crime reporter Molly Cates's father died more than twenty-five years ago, the case was ruled a suicide, and Molly's efforts to prove otherwise led to nothing but anguish and the breakup of her family. But now new information has come her way and she reopens the investigation--and a rush of old wounds--with a vengeance. Soon the personal becomes dangerously political as Molly's search for the truth leads her from the stately halls of Texas government to the mean streets of Austin's down-and-out--and ultimately to a moral dilemma she never could have anticipated.From the Paperback edition.
