A Fine, unread copy in burgundy cloth with small paste down of Thompson's portrait on front board, in slipcase w/o dj as issued. One of 100 numbered copies SIGNED by James Ellroy who wrote the introduction. 297 pages. Originally published in 1946 and unavailable in any edition for over 45 yrs. In the rural town of Verdon, Nebraska, in the early days of the 20th century, you can't go ten feet without running into one of the Fargos. So, Grant Fargo argues to his grandfather Lincoln, it's perfectly all right that he's desperately in love with his first cousin, Bella-she's the only source of intelligent conversation for miles, and in a town like Verdon, it would be hard not to end up with a relative of one kind or another.

In Heed the Thunder, one of Thompson's earlier works, Thompson's signature style collides with a sweeping picaresque of the American prairie, in a multigenerational saga that's one part Steinbeck, two parts Dostoyevsky, and all Jim Thompson.
