New York: Carroll & Graf, (2003) dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - The author's first novel, described as a "few parts Elmore Leonard, a few parts Carl Hiaasen" this is an offbeat page turner - "At once authentic and flip, by turns wildly funny and deadly serious, as riveting as it is inventive, The Long Fall twists sibling rivalry inside out and sets the conventional crime novel on its head. In sunbaked Phoenix, Arizona, this never-predictable tale tosses into its antic mix a dead father, his two sonsÑone a small-time ex-con with a consistent genius for sabotaging his own best interests, the other a straight, uptight solid citizen with a moneymaking chain of dry-cleaning stores" SIGNED on the title page. 235 pp. ISBN: 0-786711655.
