GEORGE P. PELECANOS

Publication: St Martin's Press, 1995, New York

First edition. Signed. Fine in fine dust jacket. After a night of heavy drinking, Nick Stefanos awakens to the slamming of a car door followed by a muffled scream. That is how Nick Stefanos comes to investigate the murder of Calvin Jeter. Nick gets himself a straight-arrow partner -- Jack LaDuke -- and the two dive headlong into the underbelly of the porn trade.
