Fine in fine dust jacket, small scratch and light wear at head of spine, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. 5th Thomas Black mystery. A SHAMUS AWARD Nominee for Best Novel. ""Deviant behavior" is an ironic label for Todd Steeb, a lonely, teenaged track star whose behavior throughout this story is actually heroic, and who, at the outset, is thought to have run away from home. Private investigator Thomas Black first introduced in The Rainy City is hired to find him. In the course of his quest, Black encounters a trail of cash (leading to Todd), an eccentric writer and his has-been, Hollywood-actress girlfriend and the many denizens of Seattle's nicely detailed Chinatown.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine. Book.
