About This Item
Minotaur Books, 2003. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. 275 pages. First edition (first printing). A fine, unread copy in a fine dust jacket. Signed by the author on the title page.
From another impressive newcomer to crime fiction, WILEY'S LAMENT is the story of a man who's drifting through the remains of his torn-up life like a ghost, playing poker to make ends meet but always on the edge of an abyss, not quite sure whether his minimal efforts at life are worth the trouble. When the estranged daughter he hasn't spoken to in a year turns up gutted with a sharp knife in a cheap motel room, Wiley's solitary life spins out of control and a violent showdown with both the killer and with his own bloody conscience becomes inevitable. He stalks the nasty underside of Portland's sex industry, jumping at every shadow and taking two steps back for every forward stride. But Wiley is determined to do this one thing right, perhaps to make amends with his lost daughter, or maybe to make peace with his own battered soul.
