About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Hyperion, 2001. First Edition, First Printing 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by author on title page. Every six or eight weeks, another train derailment, the images flooding our TV screens and filling the front pages. The rail company provides the reasons behind the accidents, but they are hiding the truth. Umberto Alvarez, a suspected terrorist, blames Northern Union Railroad for the crossing guard collision that killed his wife and twins two years earlier. He believes he and his family are the victims of a massive cover-up. Peter Tyler is an ex-cop looking to redeem himself after being suspended from the force for an assault that was taken out of context. Now a 'temp' investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board, Tyler sees an opportunity to jumpstart his career. The truth of what happened that night will never be known, but the woman who steps out of a snowstorm and into his life may just hold the key to unlocking the past and allowing Tyler to move on. Marked with the intelligence and humanity that make his thrillers stand apart, Pearson's PARALLEL LIES is packed with action, laced with romance, and stays right on track with heart-stopping suspense. As new, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. A44

About Joe Staats, Bookseller
Modern Literature, Mysteries, and More!
We specialize in collectible, contemporary signed first editions. First edition means the first printing. (Later printings of the first edition are typically not printed on acid-free paper, and should be avoided by collectors.) Signatures are obtained by us in person. Inscribed books sold by us may contain a line, a phrase, or a sketch that the author has chosen to add. Our signed books are not dedicated to anybody in particular (not to your grandmother, your Aunt Gladys, your ex-lover or your former cellmate), except in the rare case of a presentation copy from an author to a noteworthy person. All our books are hardcover, unless the book is an Advance Reading Copy, Uncorrected Proof, or PBO. You can expect that the books we send you will be as described, and in a physical condition worthy of the author’s having signed them. We do not sell remainder-marked books, signed or otherwise
