About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Henry Holt & Company, LLC, 1994. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Arden von Haeger (cover illustration). It was a run-of-the-mill Christmastime crime wave as far as Charlie Resnick could determine. A Pakistani cabdriver had been beaten and robbed; a half-dozen men and one woman were up on drunk and disorderly charges; there were fewer than the usual number of break-ins and burglaries. A possible child abuse case had made for some messy moments with Social Services, but all in all, things were under control. Until Dana Matthieson picked up her phone to report a missing roommate. It was considerably more than forty-eight hours before the police had the chilling proof that Nancy Phelan had, in fact, been abducted. And it was the New Year before the first tape arrived and they knew they were dealing with a psychopath.and possibly, a psychopathic killer. By the author of STILL WATERS. Fine, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. [Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] MBS1
