About This Item
Norfolk, VA, U.S.A.: Crippen & Landru, 2005. First edition, so stated. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. LIMITED EDITION, one of only 200 copies (this being #88), bound in cloth and SIGNED and numbered by Faherty. Accompanying each copy is a seperately printed pamphlet, "Goodnight, Dr. Kobel" by Faherty. "Confessions" is the first short fiction collection by the Edgar-nominated and Shamus-winning author and brings together six short stories and a novella from the casebook of Owen Keane, failed seminarian turned investigator. Called a "metaphysical detective" by the New York Times and "the ultimate amateur sleuth" by the Drood Review, Keane is a compulsive solver of mysteries. These mysteries can be as public as gang murder and gun running or as private as the loss of faith. But whether the stakes involved are large or small, these tales all feature the hallmarks of Faherty's novels: meticulous plotting, offbeat twists, and what the Philadelphia Inquirer called "a prose style that's a pleasure to spend time with." Included are two previously unpublished stories, "St. Jimmy," the very first Keane story, and "On Pilgrimage," which was written especially for this collection.. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. New/Fine. Illus. by Heyer, Carol. Limited/ Numbered Edition.
