Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 221 pages. Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter black cloth with gilt lettering to spine over purple boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Where on earth does Laura di Palma (``my primary areas of specialty are bankruptcy and corporate litigation'') get the weird criminal clients who keep her in business? After her high-powered San Francisco law firm lets her go, Laura (A Hard Bargain, 1992, etc.) finds herself with two unlikely clients in rapid succession: Margaret Lenin, another corporate lawyer who talks about suing her spiritual guru, Brother Mike, for computer-altering the sex-therapy free-for- alls she'd participated in and for putting the altered videotapes up for sale; and then, after Margaret backs down, Brother Mike himself, who arranges through Laura's old law-school classmate Gretchen Miller to hire Laura to defend a similar suit threatened by exotic dancer Arabella de Janeiro. Before she can sign a contract with Brother Mike, though, Laura makes two trips to Arabella's workplace, The Back Door, with searing results: first, a memorable trip through a hellish First Amendment rally, then a chilling confrontation with six dead strippers. And Brother Mike's behavior--when she catches up with him on a private island off the Washington coast--is just as bizarre: he offers unsolicited sexual advice to her and disappears moments after he's asked her to release him from the handcuffs a new follower clapped him in. Matera's look at the dehumanizing power of sexual manipulation- -the computer re-imaging plot here cuts much deeper than the gimmickry of Rising Sun--is so unblinking that you'll look right past the story's coincidences in your hurry to get to the hair-raising finale.

Jimmy Jenner, a London private investigator who was a policeman until he lost his leg in a terrorist explosion (in Dead Birds), is summoned from his home on a rainy night by a call from a long-lost friend, also a former cop. What he discovers when he arrives at Peter Moody's flat is not Peter, however, but the corpse of a woman that appears to have been planted to frame his pal. But does Jenner want to help Moody, let alone set eyes on him? Moody has done Jenner many bad turns and also kept him in the dark on a big secret about his life, a secret that smells of espionage. Jenner is dragged in, of course, and becomes embroiled in events that feature his estranged wife, a pert policewoman; beautiful Clara Fisher, once loved by both men; and police investigators and secret service agents who beat Jenner and keep changing their stories. The plot of this ingenious thriller turns on a complex set of interlocking betrayals, and Jenner has difficulty arriving at the truth.
