First edition. Author's first book. Fine, bright, tight copy in dust jacket with light professional restoration to the spine ends. Introduces Doan and Carstairs, an unusual sleuthing team. Doan is a private eye who won Carstairs, a Great Dane, in a crap game. Set in the village of Los Altos, Mexico, an earthquake causes widespread destruction and precipitates three cold-blooded murders.
