New York, NY, U.S.A.: Bantam Books, 1981. Mass Market Paperback. Near Fine. First Edition. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. The 21st century private eye. Can a hard-boiled private eye beat the odds in a city where ghettos are war-zones, the rich h ide behind 6 inches of armor plate, and the cops work for the highest bidder? Someone had iced one of Swain's friends with a weapon that left nothing but memories behind. That made Swain mad, and he s et out to nail the killer, against odds more crooked than a rigged earny wheel. His relentless thirst for justice took him to the penthouses, boardrooms and bedrooms of the filthy rich. To the DMZ, a no-man's-land with its own laws. And finally to Old Town, a radiation-soaked mutant enclave, where he uncovered a secret so deadly it had been paid for with a thousand lives. 214 pages. Top & bottom o f spine rubbed. Slight 1" bump along outside edge of rear cover, and fingernail size slight bump on top & bottom edge of front cover. Slight rubbing on some parts of outside edges of cover..
