While Drowning in the Desert (1st ed.)

1st paperback edition/1st printing

Neal Carey mysteries, Book #5

Edgar and Shamus Award-nominee Don Winslow combines breathless suspense, zany wit, and whiplash action in his latest novel featuring grad student/private eye Neal Carey. Now Neal’s assigned to escort monkeyish octogenarian Natty Silver home from Las Vegas to Palm Springs. Natty, once a burlesque top banana, has a nonstop barrage of corny jokes, an eye for an aging cocktail waitress, and a chronic disappearing act.

When Neal catches up with him, he can see why Natty doesn’t want to go home. Sole witness to a crime, he’s now the quarry of hard-faced suits, a fascist con artist, and a career-track assassin. And bodyguard Neal-scorching through the trackless desert at 80 mph, brooding on his inner child by freezing starlight, and looking down the barrel of one gun too many-is soon dodging vultures and on the brink of a surprise watery grave.

We're only open for browsing right now. Our catalog reopens Monday, 1/6.

Description

Extremely scarce paperback, especially in this condition: there are fewer than 5 available through all online sources at the time of this listing.

This book has light shelf wear, including a circular scuff mark on the front cover (it looks like a price sticker was removed and the adhesive pulled a narrow band of the cover up along the edges of the former sticker); sticker on spine with tape extending to front and back covers; no other flaws; in VG- condition overall.
