Pelecanos, George P : The Sweet Forever

Little, Brown & Company, New York City, NY, 1998

ISBN 0316691097

First Edition / First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. 300 pages. The author's seventh novel. The Signed First Edition of 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. "Autographed Copy" sticker pasted on DJ cover. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents George Pelecanos' "The Sweet Forever". One of his best outings. Pelecanos' novels are set in Washington, DC, prompting his most ardent followers to call him the Emile Zola of the nation's capital. The present narrative involves $25, 000 stolen from a drug dealer, several children in peril, smart adults who screw up their lives in stupid ways, and the speed with which violence festers and explodes in unexpected directions. "Pelecanos is that rare bird among Washington novelists, a writer who loves and knows the city he writes about" (Publishers Weekly). One of about five American thriller writers of our time who completely inhabit and transcend the genre at the same time. An absolute "must-have" title for George P. Pelecanos collectors. This Autographed Copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black pen on the publisher's tipped-in page by George P. Pelecanos. This title is now collectible. This is one of few copies of the Signed First Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the finest American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER GEORGE P. PELECANOS TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0316691097.
