Fine in Fine jacket. Book. 8 1/2h x 5 3/4w. A real nice clean unmarked 202 page first American edition, stated, hardcover with 1 low in number line and with a real nice clean dust jacket. When I was fourteen, a cousin of mine angered a Malignant One. It was a big case, a genuine scandal. Maybe you remember it. At the time, when it ended, I just wanted to forget about the whole thing. But a couple of years have passed and I guess maybe it's time to think about it again. Thus begins Ellen Pierson's story of how she helped her cousin Paul contend with the Malignant One running a temp agency in the office building where he worked.

Seller's Description:
1st U.S. edition, 1st printing. 202 pp. Very Fine book (no markings) / Very Fine dust jacket (price not clipped). New copy. Publisher's publicity release laid in.
This book imagines a world in which the dominant religion, for lack of a better word, is based on spirits, both good and bad. There is even an official government agency that deals with the proper rituals, which seem vaguely based Native American rituals. In this setting, a woman who we first meet as a teenager teams up with a lawyer to uncover unsavory alliances and cover-ups between the government and the spirits.
