Dead Ringer, Castles Burning, Hard Trade, At the Hands of Another, Three with a Bullet, Fast Fade, Other People’s Money by Lyons, Arthur - 1977 - 1989

Published by Mason/Charter, Holt Rinehart and Winston, The Mysterious Press 1977 to 1989 – Sold as a lot, with conditions of the seven books ranging from Very Good to Fine and the jackets are similar. Several books are unread, and Lyons has signed each one, without any inscriptions, on either the half-title or title page. The late Lyons (1946 – 2008) wrote 11 Jacob Astor P. I. novels that were very hard-hitting noir. But the mysteries never caught on, and Lyons is not well-known today as a mystery writer. He did win an Edgar Award for Best Short Story, and Hard Trade was nominated for the Shamus Award in 1987. However, he is well-known as Co-Founder and host (while was alive) of the Palm Springs Film Noir Festival. Additional condition information and more digitals available on request.
