Edward Mathis Little Man Blues 1st Edition 1988 TOR HC DJ Mystery Crime.... While never a mass-market star, his works have earned a dedicated following among collectors of noir and detective fiction. His TOR hardcovers are particularly collectible due to limited availability. Offered here is Little Man Blues by Edward Mathis — a first edition, first printing hardcover published by TOR Books in January 1988. Edward Mathis was a mid-list American mystery writer whose works often centered on small-town crime, psychological suspense, and noir themes. This novel carries the hallmarks of 1980s hardboiled fiction: sharp dialogue, atmospheric settings, and a protagonist navigating a dark, violent underworld. Collectors of TOR Books’ crime and mystery output from the 1980s will recognize the rarity of these titles, as print runs were relatively small compared to mainstream publishers. About the Author: Edward Mathis authored a number of crime and mystery novels from the 1970s through the 1990s. While never a mass-market star, his works have earned a dedicated following among collectors of noir and detective fiction. His TOR hardcovers are particularly collectible due to limited availability. Rarity Note: This is the true first edition, first printing with the complete number line to 1. TOR’s mystery hardcovers from this era are increasingly scarce in collectible condition, making this copy a desirable addition to any mystery or noir library. --- Condition Dust jacket has some small chips, light creases, and edge wear along the top.
