Sobre este artículo
New York, NY 10010, U.S.A.: Donald L. Fine, Books, 1997. First Thus Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Cesare Cardinali is a young Italian aristocrat with an inborn penchant for violence who owes his lush lifestyle to the favors of a Mafia overlord. He is more than happy to return the favors by silencing four men awaiting trial in a sensational case against organized crime. Special Agent George Baker is the man who has assembled the evidence to put those same four men away for life. When one is knifed under the watchful eye of a policeman outside a New York courtroom, and another is found slumped over a Las Vegas gaming table, Baker enters a cat-and-mouse game to entrap Cardinali before his whole case is destroyed. But for Baker's adversary, it is the sting of the stiletto as it sinks into another human being that keeps Cesare Cardinali killing - not the debt he presumes to owe to the Mafia kingpin. And once he has begun to savor that encompassing rush, nobody - friend, enemy, or mistress - is likely to stop him from knowing it again. "STILETTO is one of my favorite novels. I feel even today, after many great novels have been written about the Mafia, that STILETTO was one of the most important forerunners." (--Harold Robbins, from the Foreword). (This is the first hardcover edition of this title (copyright 1960), previously published by Dell as a PBO.) As new, first edition, first printing copy, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket.[Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] M76
