About This Item
New York: Ballantine Books, 2006. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine. Perhaps better known for his mystery series featuring private detective Thomas Black, Emerson is also author of a group of award-winning crime-thrillers featuring firemen and arson investigation. The lead character in "Firetrap" is Trey Brown, a captain in the Seattle Fire Department whose skin color keeps him on the outside looking into a largely white department. Brown is trapped in the political firestorm that erupts after a fire in an illegal nightclub kills 14 people. A scapegoat is needed and it may be him. A group of six pages show an almost unnoticeable crease in their upper corners, o/w text and boards are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket shows perhaps a trace of rubbing on the backpanel. No tears, no creasing or chipping, not price-clipped.
