Fine in Fine jacket. Book 1st edition, so stated, with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. "Greenleaf ( Book Case ) packs a wallop in this 8th John Marshall Tanner mystery, which brings the lawyer turned investigator to San Francisco's Tenderloin district for a gritty, chilling series of events. Tanner's drinking buddy, dour Tom Crandall, is found dead, apparently of a self-administered drug overdose. But Tanner, who knew that Tom's marriage to torch singer Clarissa Duncan was crumbling, believes his friend was murdered. His suspicions fall on Clarissa's new beau, multimillionaire entrepreneur Richard Sands. Tanner thinks that Tom's mentally disturbed brother Nick might know why the dead man, in his last message, accused Sands of being "evil incarnate." Searching for Nick in the Tenderloin, Tanner gets involved with a blood hustler named Dracula, who convinces the area's inhabitants that they have liquid gold in their veins...Centering on plasma centers, blood banks, HIV, AIDS and donors in the inner city, this isn't a story for the squeamish."--PW.
