Los Angeles: Sherbourne Press, Inc.. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. (c.1969). First Edition. Hardcover. [no significant wear to book, just a touch of age-toning to the edges of the text block; the jacket is very nice, with only some minor dog-earing at the top of the spine]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper: "For / Hal Gefsky -- / a great guy, and / my dear friend over / many years. Much / happiness always. / Steve Fisher / 1969." A late-career novel by this hardboiled writer, justly famous for his 1941 novel "I Wake Up Screaming." This one, a mystery with supernatural elements, is about a veteran magician who supplements his fading career as a performer with gigs as a "ghost breaker," a professional debunker of phoney psychics, and inadvertently puts his young assistant's life in danger as a result of their brief affair.
