About this Item

1st ed. Fine, unread copy in dust jacket. LIMITED EDITION, one of 225 copies sewn in cloth and SIGNED and numbered by the author [this being #138]. Accompanying each copy of the Limited Edition is a separately printed pamphlet, "Lodgings for the Night" by Eric Wright. Cover illustration by Native American artist Barbara Mitchell. COLD KILLINGS!!! Eric Wright, the creator of Superintendent Charlie Salter of the Metropolitan Toronto Police, is one of Canada's most honored mystery writers. The Crime Writers of Canada have recognized his work with four Arthur Ellis Awards, two for Best Novel and two for Best Short Story. A Killing Climate contains all of Eric Wright's short stories in the mystery field, including a locked-room mystery ("An Irish Jig"), espionage in the Far North ("Caves of Ice"), a comic caper story ("Two in the Bush"), and other exercises in ingenuity, character, and atmosphere. Many of the stories are set near Canada's Hudson Bay area, but a few (especially "Hephaestus" with its Caribbean vactioners) are in more temperate regions. The book concludes with the first short tale about Charlie Salter, a novella, "The Lady of Shalott," written especially for this volume. Includes a checklist of Eric Wright's works. 211 pages.
