Only Child
by Andrew Vachss
After years on the run, Burke is desperate to return to his native New York, the only way he can reconnect with his outlaw “family.” But to survive in their part of the City, where reputation is everything, Burke must take major risks to reestablish his presence. So when a Mafia man contacts him about the murder-as-message of his sixteen-year-old daughter—the offspring of what he calls an “outside the tribe” affair that he must keep secret at all costs—Burke’s depleted bankroll persuades him to step out of the shadows and do something he hasn’t done in years . . . actually investigate a crime. Burke needs cover to penetrate the teenage subculture of the Long Island town where the girl lived and died, so he puts together a crew of gifted role-players, including a pair of lesbian “power exchangers” who market their special brand of sex on the Internet. When Burke himself surfaces as a casting director, seeking tomorrow’s stars for a movie to be shot on location, the investigation quickly spins off into uncharted depths. What he discovers is a new kind of filmmaking, a new kind of violence, and a predator unlike any he’s ever known. When they meet head-on over a brutal work of cinéma vérité, only one of them will survive the final cut.

GHOST OF A FLEA
Sallis, James
Walker & Co., 2001. SIGNED, a fine book and dustjacket in Brodart. The scene is a room in New Orleans with a man peering out a window, a body on the bed behind him. The man stays quiet, not speaking or thinking, hoping things will go back to a safer time. Lew Griffin feels cut off from everything. His relationship with Deborah is shaky, his son David has lit out again leaving a note that sound final, and his buddy, Don Walsh who is exiting the police force, is shot in the middle of a robbery. Lew feels aimless. He hasn't written anything for years and doesn't teach anymore, so his days are empty. He makes an attempt to determine the origin of threatening letters to a friend, but this is not enough to rouse him from his lethargy. As in five former novels, Sallis is again able to portray a black private detective/poet/teacher, as he deals with crime and searches for his own identity as he attempts to make his way through a white man's world.. ISBN: 0802733697. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hardcover. SIGNED, MYSTERY. ( more information) Offered by Mysteries Plus (United States)
