New York: St. Martin's Press, 1989. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. The third book in the award-winning Roberts' mystery series featuring Hollywood actor/private detective Saxon (or maybe it's private detective/actor; even Saxon isn't sure.). This time Saxon hires on to find the missing daughter of a major movie producer and finds murder as well as the daughter. A remainder dot on the upper edge of the text, o/w boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square. The dustjacket shows wear along the upper edge including a quarter-inch tear at each upper corner of the back panel, minor wear at the other corners and spine ends but no significant flaws, no large tears, creasing or chipping, not price clipped. Collectable early work of a writer now best known for his Milan Jacovich, Cleveland P.I. series.
