Carter - 1st EDITION 1st PRINT Softcover (Limited Numbered Edition 299 of 835) - RARE UNCORRECTED PROOF - (Advance Reading Copy - predates the 1st printing of the hardcover edition) - Published in the UK in 2002 by Jonathan Cape - no page numbers (but 672 pages) - NEAR MINT condition. A complex, smart mystery filled with intrigue, drama, and more than a little danger awaits in Stephen L. Carter's engaging debut novel, The Emperor of Ocean Park. After the funeral of his powerful father (a federal judge whose nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court became a public scandal), Talcott Garland, an African American law professor at an Ivy League university, is left to unravel the meaning of a cryptic note and carry out "the arrangements" his father left behind. Armed with fortitude and familial devotion--though paranoid of his wife's fidelity--Talcott soon finds himself in an investigation that entangles him with a number of questionable Washington, D.C., denizens, including attorneys and government officials, law professors, the FBI, shady underworld figures, chess masters, and friends and family. All the while Talcott tries not to hurt his attorney wife's chance for a judicial nomination--and their fragile marriage--but the closer he comes to unraveling his father's dark secrets, the more dangerous things become. Again, this SCARCE UNCORRECTED PROOF is in NEAR MINT condition. No collection of mysteries is complete without this one. Check out the scan for the cover and so you can judge the condition for yourself (the book in the scan is the one you will get). You can try to buy this book for less money from one of those eBay booksellers with hundreds, if not thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the book is delivered to you in the stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of a prompt delivery and of receiving an item true to the condition indicated. You won't be disappointed. Don't get left out; very few advance reading copies of this book are on the market. All previous buyers of my mysteries books have been completely satisfied. I have many others available; please check my listings. The book will be sent via Media mail in the USA to minimize shipping costs. I will combine shipping to reduce charges for multiple items.
