Promotional Material laid-in. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Robert Crais' "The Last Detective: An Elvis Cole Novel". The Disappearance. "While attorney Lucy Chenier is away on business and her ten-year-old son, Ben, is staying with Elvis, Ben disappears without a trace. Amid the maelstrom of personal conflicts, Elvis and his enigmatic partner Joe Pike are forced to consider a troubling lead, one indicating that Ben's disappearance is connected to a terrible, long-held secret from Elvis Cole's past" (Publisher's blurb). His previous career as the screenwriter for the long-running television series, "Hill Street Blues" and "L. A. Law", has served Robert Crais well in his second career as a serious mystery/thriller writer. An absolute "must-have" title for Robert Crais collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the title page by Robert Crais. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page.
