This is one of Parker’s earliest works (probably his fifth novel) published in 1978 . It is a hand signed first edition, first printing, in near fine condition. It carries a certificate of authenticity guaranteeing that it is a first edition and that the signature is Robert Parkers. The only negative point is that there is a hand written name, probably of an earlier book owner, on the page facing the title page. It is small and easily missed.
