LIMITED SIGNED EDITION



The Mysterious Bookshop is publishing a special limited edition of this exceptional memoir, signed by the author, one of the most collectable mystery writers working today. It will be produced in the same elegant format as our previous publications, almost all of which have sold out on publication. It is the true first edition and will be released before the trade edition is published by Alfred A. Knopf.

This edition is limited to only 100 copies, numbered and signed by James Ellroy. Bound in marbled boards with a leather spine. The price is $150.00

There are also 26 lettered copies in a variant binding available at $275.00.

Reserve your copy today.

COMING SOON

We will be publishing limited editions (and true firsts) of the following:

Elmore Leonard - Djibouti

Dennis Lehane - Moonlight Mile (Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro)

Robert Crais - The Sentry (Joe Pike)

Lawrence Block - A Drop of the Hard Stuff (Matthew Scudder)

Michael Connelly - Future title to be announced

...and we’ll be adding other titles in the future.

Please contact us to place advance orders or to arrange a standing order so that you will be guaranteed copies of these strictly limited editions.



SIGNED COPIES NOW AVAILABLE

We now have the U.S. Edition of Bad Boy by Peter Robinson. $25.99. We still have one or two of the signed U.K. Edition, which is the true first. $48.00

A.E. Roman received a very favorable review recently in Publisher’s Weekly for his sophomore effort, The Superman Project, which once again features Chico Santana. This time Chico finds himself investigating The Superman Project, which peddles German philosophy, Hinduism, and American comic-book mythology as a method toward self-improvement. But the members of TSP are hiding more than a few secrets. $25.99

Lisa Unger was here signing copies of her new thriller, Fragile. Set in a small community outside New York City, the disappearance of a teenage girl echoes the abduction, years ago, of another local girl. In a town where the past is always present, nobody is above suspicion. $24.00




The Garden of Betrayal is Lee Vance’s second thriller, which I found hard to put down despite my very limited knowledge of the post-recession oil wars. However, Vance is a Wall Street insider and he weaves his incredible knowledge of how the Street works into a heart-thumping thriller about kidnapping, murder, and the blowing up of a natural gas pipeline by suspected terrorists. A great Summer read, $24.95



A Note about the latest from Dick Francis and Felix Francis....

Crossfire is here. The U.S. Edition is the true first and it will not be signed. Nor do we expect that Felix Francis will sign the U.K. Edition. $26.95

Almost your last chance.....

We are rapidly running out of pre-ordered copies of

If you are a Ken Bruen fan, or if you are collecting books published by The Mysterious Bookshop, you may want to add this title to your collection.

We are at the first come, first served stage.....



A Quick Note....

We have just learned that The Last Talk With Lola Faye by Thomas H. Cook is in its second printing. Great news for Tom, but not for The Mysterious Bookshop. This was to be our September Selection for The Crime Collectors Club, so this note most directly affects you. We are working to get a suitable replacement for this selection and I will be in touch with The Crime Club about this. We are also working on getting some first editions which Tom will be happy to sign. If we are successful, we’ll offer them in the weekly update on a first come, first served basis. Sorry about that.



A Question

Max Allan Collins has contacted us to ask if we would like him to sign copies of The Big Bang, the last Mike Hammer novel Max completed from a manuscript by Mickey Spillane.

We would love to do this, but because the book is a few months old, we do not want to send him too many, or too few, books. Max has graciously said he would sign however many we want.

So please let me know if you’d like a signed copy of this title. We still have first editions. $25.00
