As the two renew their friendship on the road and endure the scary adoration of desperate fans, Kat slogs through a trail of no-account men and boozy dives, hoping to find the perpetrator before Dakota sings her last song. When Kat Colorado receives a plea for help from a childhood friend she immediately flies out to Nashville.

Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's black boards with silver lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. At the opening of this book a cadaver is discovered, the body of an impeccable businessman from Munich, in an elaborate garden where topiary shrubs delineate a hidden chessboard behind the hedges. The death seems to be a suicide, with no plausible motivation, but then, as the plot of this thriller unfolds, we begin to see that its apparently random moves are variations on an opening gambit, and it can end only in a checkmate that annihilates the possibility of a rematch. Gary Kasparov has defined chess as "the most violent sport in existence", and that is true in this extraordinary novel, too. For the mortal duel around which it is constructed is between two chess players who are opposed human types - a clever, persecuted Jew and a ruthless, persecuting German - and when they face each other over a chessboard, at first in big international tournaments and then in a Nazi death camp, the stakes are nothing less than life itself.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. xi+184 pages with frontispiece map, facsimiles, plates, tables, appendixes, bibliography and index. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1.4") bound in original publisher's red cloth with gilt lettering to spine and pictorial map to cover. First edition. In six chapters, Burkholder examines Baquíjano's family ties; economic and social positions; law studies; early academic successes; first trip to Madrid (and its miserable outcome); and attempts to earn merit as a university professor, as lawyer to various corporations, and as interim crown attorney, all of which came close to failure because of over ambitiousness and goals too highly set. Burkholder seeks to connect personal circumstances and enterprises of Baquíjano with general political developments and to contrast the personal strategy with the particular legal norms and political conceptions of the crown. Drawing on substantial new sources, Burkholder succeeds in illuminating the mechanisms and problems that a pretender to an audiencia post had to face if he, a native son, strove for a position in as important a tribunal as that of Lima, avoiding the career schedule.

Murder at the Museum of Natural History marks the return of Lieutenant William Donovan to the mystery arena. In his fourth adventure, Donovan continues his trademark pursuit of killers who use exotic weapons to shed blood on the floors of Big Apple landmarks. This time he tracks a murderer who steals a priceless one-thousand-year-old dagger - a gift Marco Polo was carrying to Kublai Khan from the Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII - and strikes at the gala opening celebration of a world-famous archaeological exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History. In the course of several very busy days and nights, Donovan sorts clues and interrogates suspects while keeping company with the victim's movie star wife. The stunning and infamous Katy Lucca has become, overnight, the world's wealthiest, most beautiful, and, clearly, hottest-blooded widow. Several questions loom: Who killed playboy billionaire and archaeologist Paolo Lucca? Is Katy involved in her husband's death? How will Donovan handle some very shady, and extremely dangerous, characters - provincial terrorists and Russian mafiosi - who fled to New York from the ashes of the old Soviet Union? The Treasure of the Silk Road exhibit, an incredible display of artifacts from the old Silk Road that ran from Cathay to the West, has brought all of these characters together. Now Donovan must search through layers of deception and the halls of the American Museum of Natural History to uncover a brutal murderer. Condition: A fine copy in like jacket.

paperback. Condizione: Near Fine. DETAILS: PAPERBACK, cover price $16.99, attractive copy, near fine but with small green dots on top and bottom foredge, slightest wear to covers. GLÜCK, LOUISE. Proofs & theories: essays on poetry. Hopewell, New Jersey: The Ecco Press, 1994, appears to be a recnet digital reprint, 134pp., . Proofs & Theories is a long-awaited first gathering of essays by one of this country's most brilliant poets. Like her poems, the prose of Ms. Gluck, who won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1993 for The Wild Iris, is compressed, fastidious, fierce, alert, and absolutely unconsoled. The force of her thought is apparent everywhere in her writing and whether she is contemplating - skeptically - the critical currency of ideas like "courage" and "sincerity," T.S. Eliot's reduced reputation as a poet of impersonality, the loyalties of the objectivist George Oppen, or the ferocity in the headlong art of Sylvia Plath, there is something exhilarating about her seriousness, spare, austere, mind-clearing, and adamantly alive. - CONTENTS: Education of the poet -- On T.S. Eliot -- The idea of courage -- On George Oppen -- Against sincerity -- On Hugh Seidman -- The forbidden -- Obstinate humanity -- Disruption, hesitation, silence -- Disinterestedness -- The best American poetry 1993 : introduction -- The dreamer and the watcher -- On Stanley Kunitz -- Invitation and exclusion -- Death and absence -- On impoverishment.
