1st edition with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. SIGNED by the author at title page. Author's 1st book. Publishers post card laid in. Colorodo "With an agreeable, medium-boiled tone, this first entry in a projected series features ex-CIA agent B. F. Hopper, who is called on for help by a friend in the Boulder, Colo., police when a member of a Buddhist sangha (congregation) is killed and brutally mutilated. Then another member is killed and differently disfigured. Just after Hopper realizes that a key may lie in the Buddhist chakras (energy centers), the nastiness threatens his new lover. On the trail of a satanic cult, Hopper is aided by old mentor (and deus ex machina) Stryker Stephens and by the super-rich father of the first victim. The climactic scene amid the satanists is a bit pat but the procedural elements are well handled and the killer is chillingly deranged." -- Publishers Weekly. Seller Inventory # 018276
