Fine. No Jacket. Advance Uncorrected Proof. Signed by Author First edition, January 1996, with complete number line beginning with 1. Advance Uncorrected Proof. SIGNED AND DATED by the author at the title page "William F. Nolan 1/27/96". A fine, unread copy. A novel featuring The Black Mask Boys: Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, and Erle Stanley Gardner. "The Black Mask boys are back, and that's a cause for celebration. Introduced as detectives in Nolan's Black Mask Murders (1994), they track down the murderer of Chandler's wife's first husband, Julian, who has apparently committed ritual suicide in a Chinese cemetery. Cissy Chandler, not buying the suicide story, puts her husband on the case. Chandler follows Julian's trail to horror-movie actress Carmilla Blastok, who leads the writer-sleuth to a thug named Enright, who may have killed Carmilla's sister. When Chandler gets in over his head, he calls his Black Mask cronies for help. Along the way, Charlie Chaplin, William Randolph Hearst, and Orson Welles also make cameo appearances."--Booklist.
