New York: Harper & Row, 1979. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. The eighth novel by this greatly under-appreciated writer is this story of two Forham classmates whose paths re-cross 25 years after graduation. Peter Quinn, now a successful Washington lawyer and lobbyist, narrates the post-graduate lessons he receives from Edgar Lannin, a cynical, street-smart Boston newspaperman, on subjects including wives and children, booze, the Mafia, our nation's capital and power; upper corners of both boards slightly bumped, o/w boards and text are clean, tight, square; dustjacket shows some wear, with small tear and chip at top of spine, a small price sticker on front flap and crease and small stain on back flap; no large tears or major chipping. Looks much better than description would indicate.
