Fine in Fine jacket. Book 1st edition, October 1994, so stated. Author'd First Book. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. "This smart, snappy mystery debut introduces Portland, Oreg., sculptor Adam McCleet, a former cop whose creations generally feature women and large sea creatures. McCleet sells his work at a gallery whose gorgeous, savvy owner, Alison Brooks, wears skimpy underwear which McCleet often gets to see. Here, the artist's pushy, viper-tongued sister badgers him into searching for her missing husband, Phil, an orthodontist who has disappeared during a convention, leaving his bed unslept in and his dental floss unused. Things look grim. While tracking Phil, (who finally turns up alive, but minus a kidney), McCleet also flushes a serial killer who preys on well-heeled tourists. Despite some hackneyed characters and a few too many jokes (nearly all of them good) that sometimes slow the pace, Hanson generates a high-energy tale that will leave readers eager for a sequel."--Publishers Weekly.
