Author Name: Ray Bradbury Title: Death is a Lonely Business Binding: Hard Cover Book Condition: Very Good+ Jacket Condition: Near Fine Type: Crime Fiction Edition: Book Club Publisher: London Guild Publishing 1986 Illustrator: Cover: James Marsh Seller ID: 004837 Binding is black cloth with gilt letteron spine minor bump to base of spine. In the great tradition of Chandler and Hammett this book is a carnival of extraordinary characters - a classic mystery, a love story, and a nostalgic evocation of a time and place. The time is 1949. In Venice, California, they are tearing down the amusement pier. Already the roller coaster has fallen to its knees under the wrecking ball and lies scattered on the ground like dinosaur bones. And the theatre that enchanted with Chaney and Fairbanks has only one word on its marquee: goodbye. Death is everywhere. In one of the lion cages that lie submerged in the canal a body has been found. Down the block in a fogbound apartment house, there is another body, an ancient woman found in a room full of empty birdcages. they could be natural deaths, but at least two people think otherwise: a detective named Elmo Crumley, and a young man who sits at his typewriter all day pounding out stories that he sells to Black Mask, Dime Detective and Weird Tales. The young writer and Detective Crumley believe the deaths are murders. And suddenly the killer is stalking them. With a cast of grotesques both lovable and unloveable - from the dat diva Fannie (so fat that she can't sleep lying down) to the sexy ageing film star, from the barber with his dreams of Scott Joplin to the blind man who sees more than he lets on - Death is a Lonely Business is a joy of a novel. Crime Price = 6.00 GBP
