This sounds like a must read. "... dealers in first editions, and - on the side - erotica, got together and cheered the unknown assassin." Beautifully balanced and paced punctuation, a bust of Dante as a murder weapon, and a rare book dealer turned dick. (Like a few rare book dealers I know.)
Coming next fall from American Mystery Classics...
