In the complex threads of past loyalties and big aspirations, the political stakes are high and friendship is cheap.

Seller's Description:
None. Very Good Indeed in Very Good Indeed jacket. A signed first edition of 'Burn Marks' by Sara Paretsky. Signed by the author to the title page. "Burn Marks confirms Sara Paretsky as a mistress of the contemporary crime novel, in a class with P.D. James and Ruth Rendell." In a cloth binding with unclipped dustwrapper. Externally, very smart. Minor shelfwear to the boards. Dustwrapper generally smart, lightly rubbed in some places with minor edgewear. Internally, firmly bound. Pages marginally age toned due to paper used. Very Good Indeed.
Ah, Sara Paretsky ... engaging characters, an intriguing storyline dealing with issues of the moment. But really, what you have to say about Ms. Paretsky is that she is a voice for justice. I hope never to have to live in a world without a V.I. Warshawski.
