The drag queen named Vera Reynolds swayed on-stage singing "Falling in Love Again."  And a sixteen-year-old boy lay in Vera's fire-engulfed apartment . . . very, very dead.  He was a "rent boy," a sex-for-hire street kid who catered to the tastes of special customers.  It was the kind of murder Soho's Vice Squad saw often.  But the influential do-gooder who was a prime suspect in this one made the young boy's death different--a ticking bomb able to blast open the nasty, secret lives of politicians, judges . . . and cops.  Detective Jane Tennison had moved up the career ladder through sheer guts and an unstoppable passion for justice.  Now, on her first day as the head of the Vice Squad, she caught a case threatening to wreck her career.  She had been told whom to arrest--and whom to back off from-in the murder of the "rent boy."  And she couldn't go with the program.  She knew a destroyer of children was out there.  She knew she had a choice:  to save her future or go after him like an avenging angel, and damn the consequences to hell . . . .

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
