And Tanner will need all his skills and courage to solve a case the reverberations of which could shake the country. Tom Crandall, war hero, social crusader, and Tanner's barroom confidant, lies dead in an abandoned alley in San Francisco's Tenderloin. The police call it suicide, but Tanner suspects that the affair Crandall's wife was having with millionaire corporate raider Richard Sands may have sealed Tom's fate. And as he investigates, Tanner begins to turn up suspicious clues that lead to the city's vulnerable blood supply, and to Crandall's homeless, paranoid brother, whose accusations are so wild and terrifying that even Tanner is shaken with fear. From the velvet-lined nightclubs of the Bay Area to the burned-out porn shops of the Tenderloin, Blood Type is a novel of greed and malevolence, complete with all the Greenleaf hallmarks: literate writing, satisfying characters, and crackling good dialogue. For fans both new and old, Blood Type is a mystery to chill the veins and quicken the heartbeat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bookshop Apocalypse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30172667543609,"sku":"","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3103\/1574\/files\/bloodtype-1sqcopy.jpg?v=1785718710"},{"product_id":"death-bed-by-stephen-greenleaf-1987-paperback","title":"Death Bed by Stephen Greenleaf [FIRST PAPERBACK EDITION] 1987 • Ballantine","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eDeath Bed by Stephen Greenleaf [John Marshall Tanner #2)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFIRST PAPERBACK EDITION [1987] BALLANTINE BOOKS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4th Printing \/ 1987 with white font variant.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBook is in very good condition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight wear to cover and some mild read-creasing to spine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReads clean! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eABOUT THE BOOK\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe search for a dying millionaire’s son leads John Marshall Tanner to a case of domestic terrorism\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaximilian Kottle spent all his life fearing death.

They meet her stoned-out, strangely apathetic mother, her loving aunt and uncle, the mother's dangerous, drug-addled friends, and two cops who've found so many abused or dead children they may be too far over the edge to come back. Despite enormous public attention, rabid news coverage, and dogged police work, the investigation repeatedly hits a brick wall. Led into a world of drug dealers, child molesters, and merciless executioners, Patrick and Angie are soon forced to face not only the horrors adults can perpetrate on innocents but also their own conflicted feelings about what is best, and worst, when it comes to raising children. And as the Indian summer fades and the autumn chill deepens, Amanda McCready stays gone, banished so completely that she seems never to have existed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThen another child disappears...\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDennis Lehane takes you into a world of triple crosses, elaborate lies, and shrouded motives, where the villains may be more moral than the victims, the missing should possibly stay missing, and those who go looking for them may not come back alive\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bookshop Apocalypse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31690785783865,"sku":"","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3103\/1574\/products\/gonebabygone-1.png?v=1589489582"},{"product_id":"sharp-objects-by-gillian-flynn-trade-paperback","title":"Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn [TRADE PAPERBACK RE-PRINT] 2012 • Broadway","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSharp Objects\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eby\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Gillian Flynn\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRADE PAPERBACK RE-ISSUE [2012] BROADWAY PAPERBACKS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2012 printing.  Beautiful trade paperback with frosted matte cover.  Like new.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls.

U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels and his new partner, Chuck Aule, have come to Shutter Island, home of Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane, to investigate the disappearance of a patient. Multiple murderess Rachel Solando is loose somewhere on this remote and barren island, despite having been kept in a locked cell under constant surveillance. As a killer hurricane relentlessly bears down on them, a strange case takes on even darker, more sinister shades—with hints of radical experimentation, horrifying surgeries, and lethal countermoves made in the cause of a covert shadow war. No one is going to escape Shutter Island unscathed, because nothing at Ashecliffe Hospital is what it seems.

Those who remain covet any living creature, and for people who can’t afford one, companies built incredibly realistic simulacra: horses, birds, cats, sheep. They’ve even built humans. Immigrants to Mars receive androids so sophisticated they are indistinguishable from true men or women. Fearful of the havoc these artificial humans can wreak, the government bans them from Earth. Driven into hiding, unauthorized androids live among human beings, undetected. Rick Deckard, an officially sanctioned bounty hunter, is commissioned to find rogue androids and “retire” them. But when cornered, androids fight back—with lethal force.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bookshop Apocalypse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67273176350969,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3103\/1574\/files\/doandroidsdreamofelectricsleep-1.jpg?v=1790923243"},{"product_id":"split-images-by-elmore-leonard-first-edition-first-printing-1981-arbor-house","title":"Split Images by Elmore Leonard [FIRST EDITION • FIRST PRINTING] 1981 • Arbor House","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eSplit Images by Elmore Leonard\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFIRST EDITION • FIRST PRINTING [1981] ARBOR HOUSE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTrue 1st in beautiful condition.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHardcover with dust jacket. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDust jacket shows some very mild shelf wear.  Otherwise clean and lustrous. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eShips housed in a new custom-fit jacket protector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBook itself is mint. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLooks and reads like new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eABOUT THE BOOK\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eEdgar award nominee for best novel. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eA Palm Beach playboy who amuses himself with murder finds himself on a collision course with a vacationing Motown cop in Elmore Leonard’s \u003c\/span\u003eSplit Images\u003cspan\u003e—a gripping and electrifying example of noir gold from “the coolest, hottest writer in America”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRobbie Daniels is a Palm Beach playboy.
