About This Item
An extraordinary association copy, lavishly inscribed by the author on the title page to President Bill Clinton, thanking him for being an early fan. Accompanying the book is an article written by this cataloguer in his previous life as a reporter for the Ottawa Citizen, in which Burke talks about being asked to inscribe the book to Clinton - which, mysteriously, never made it to The Bill but ended up in a remainder stack. The article ran in the Jan. 23, 2005 edition of the Ottawa Citizen. Only flaw is a one-inch long remainder mark along the top of the text block, else fine. Protected in a Brodart cover.
Synopsis
On the heels of her soaring bestseller Flight, Edgar Award-winning author Jan Burke reaches new heights of suspense in this ingenious novel of hard-hitting justice and cold-blooded murder. Los Angeles County Homicide Detective Alex Brandon lives to bring killers to justice -- but when unknown assailants begin systematically killing off the FBI's Most Wanted suspects, Alex sees no cause for celebration. The vigilante slayings eerily echo the work of a serial killer from a decade ago, and convince Alex that "the Exterminators," as a grateful public has dubbed them, are more ruthless and sadistic than their victims. As the attacks mount, it is the ninth target that pulls Alex into a case that is quickly spiraling into deadly territory -- where justice is no longer enough.
