Synopsis
"C" is For Corpse, Kinsey Millhone #3 Bobby Callahan approached detective Kinsey Millhone with a job proposal. His story was strange: he'd been seriously injured in a car crash that was caused by a tailgating car that knocked his vehicle into a canyon 400 feet below, killing the passenger, his best friend. The doctors had healed his body, but not his partial amnesia - Bobby knew someone was trying to kill him, but he didn't know why, and no one believed him. Can Kinsey help Bobby, and unravel the mystery behind his attack? Anthony Award for Best Novel (1987)

The game is afoot!
I focus on modern first edition, first printings, but have been lately finding first editions, later printings of older novels in my inventory. I'm also highlighting a lot of signed books that I've found.
I will also gladly search for and offer well-priced books of all kinds. If there's something you'd love to have, either send me a message here or go to https://cases.sherlockjoes.com and Open a Case!
