Boston, Houghton Mifflin, 1981. His second novel, a hard-boiled thriller involving American expatriates in Mexico. Signed by the author. Partly because of the weak construction at the rear hinge, which tends to crack, this title has become harder to locate, particularly in fine condition, than his first book. This is a fine copy in a fine dust jacket that is folded a bit offcenter such that the spine lettering rounds the front joint. [#912556] $225
