About This Item
New York: Mysterious Press, 1992. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. O'Connell's first novel is this prize-winning mystery-crime novel featuring Lt. Lenore Thomas, an undercover narcotics detective in a decaying New England factory town, trying to deal with a drug lord, an ex-boyfriend, and her own drug addiction while keeping an eye on her twin brother, Ike, a post office employee involved in an investigation of his own where strange things are being delivered to P.O. Box 9. Some light foxing on the top edge of the text, o/w text and boards are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket shows only a touch of wear along the edges and at the spine ends, no tears, no chipping, not price-clipped. A collectable copy.
