Soon Hopper is undercover among New York's notorious street gangs. But just as he's about to crack the case, a blackout rolls across the boroughs, plunging Hopper into a darkness deeper than any he's faced before.

Store description
I am an independent bookseller based in Perth, Western Australia, specialising in quality used and out-of-print books. My focus is on good reading copies and well-kept paperbacks, with a particular soft spot for literary fiction, science fiction and fantasy, crime, and interesting non-fiction that deserves a second life on someone else’s shelf. Every book is individually inspected and described. I use clear, consistent condition notes and detailed photographs so you know exactly what you’re getting before you buy. Edgewear, spine creases, inscriptions, foxing, and any other flaws are clearly noted. If a book has something special – an early printing, a nice cover design, or an interesting previous owner mark – I’ll mention that too. Orders are packed carefully to survive the postal system, using appropriate padding and sturdy packaging. Whenever possible, I reuse clean packing materials to reduce waste without compromising protection. Customer service is straightforward: if you have a question about a specific book, feel free to contact me before purchasing. I aim to ship promptly and resolve any issues fairly. Thank you for supporting a small, independent bookseller and helping keep good books in circulation.…
