Description:
N.Y.: Doubleday, 1995. 1st ed. Near fine in dust jacket. The 6th Kat Colorado title. Kat Colorado, Kijewski's chatty, no-nonsense Sacramento PI, is, like Sue Grafton's Kinsey Milhone, flatly unromantic about her profession even as she's tickled pink by it. In this, her sixth case (after Kat Walk), she's often on the road between Sacramento, where she's investigating a suspicious hit-and-run, and Las Vegas, where she's investigating why Hank, her policeman beau, isn't returning her calls. Courtney Dillard, the young woman killed in the apparent hit-and-run, had left her Mormon family and her church because she felt stifled by their views on the role of women. Her mother believes she was murdered, and Kat, inclined to agree, suspects Courtney's former boyfriend. Meanwhile, back in Vegas, Hank (who still hasn't allayed Kat's suspicions of infidelity) becomes obsessed with the case of a serial killer called the Strip Stalker. Kijewski, winner of the Shamus and…

N.Y.: Mysterious Press, 1992. 1st ed. Fine in dust jacket. "This fourth Vic Daniel mystery by Canadian expatriate Pierce is the U.S. hardcover debut of this laconic and grumbling, brutally funny, 6 7 Southern California detective. A master of off-center characterization and the oddball narrative view, Pierce conjures up low-rent coastal locales filled with Vietnamese restaurants, with strains of poor-gumshoe blues in the background. Early cases involve hiking across town to establish an alibi for a client and helping an aspiring basketball star hide a point-shaving past. The action picks up when a boyhood chum in a Mexican jail pleads for help. Vic, his multi-purpose gofer, punkette/poet Sara Silvetti, and the ace conman Benny the Boy pack their bags, their Montezuma's Revenge medicine and their fake passports and head south. Madcap storytelling and nutso types whose smart mouths run in overdrive make up for dated aspects of the five-year-old plot: riffs on Apple II computers and Valley…

NY, NY: Vilking, 1981. 1st ed. Fine in dj. Features Terry Traven who owns the Black Mask Detective Agency. Author's 1st book. EDGAR AWARD NOMINEE for Best First Novel. During the 1960s Terry Traven had it all. He had a 1941 Buick, wide-lapel suits, spectator shoes, the Black Mask Detective Agency, and an underground newspaper friend who kept plugging him as the hard-boiled reincarnation of Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe. But that was the sixties ... Now it's the 1980s, and the drugs are hard and the rock is punk. The monied interests have moved in and the dream has gone sour. For Terry Traven, his mortgaged dream is just about to die of starvation when wealthy industrialist Athol Busby walks through the frosted glass door and asks him to find his son Lothar. Suddenly Terry finds himself embroiled in other people's fantasies -- fantasies that have come to life and gone awry in the nightmarish violence of punk life, the glittering, coke-induced visions of Beverly Hills' elite, and,…
