Although not marked in any way, this copy comes from the personal collection of Otto Penzler, legendary editor and founder of the Mysterious Press, an award-winning icon in the genre. Winner of the Associated Writing Programs Award for Short Fiction. 8.5"x5.5", 234 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. A liar and a charmer, Jim Rush is a young American with a weakness for trouble. On the run from the British police-he's wanted for a murder he didn't commit-Jim finds a hideaway in St. Elena, a small Caribbean island where his English girlfriend, Jane, has secured them an invitation. Quickly tiring of the snobbery and childishness of Jane's uppercrust friends, Jim feels trapped. On the one hand, he can't seem to avoid a paparazzo bent on snatching pictures of Princess Diana on a neighboring island; the photographer, Jim knows, would be well paid for a shot of the man on wanted posters throughout London police stations. On the other hand, to stay among Jane's set means enduring the taunts of an egotistical host and joining in their puerile games. Jim can't resist playing a game of his own when he encounters a couple of small-time hustlers who claim to have found sunken treasure. When Jim attempts to turn the tables on these con men, the result is murder. Jim is once more a wanted man-and this time he may not get away so easily.
