First Edition / First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. 342 pages. The author's thriller-novel. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Richard Dooling's "Bet Your Life". Never writes the same kind of book twice. "This time he has produced a techno-noir thriller set within the confines of the insurance business. The reader learns a great deal about insurance scams and the cynicism pervading the industry, and the Omaha setting is piquant for its contrast with the high-living, trendy insurance investigators who are the book's stars" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Richard Dooling collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Richard Dooling. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is now collectible. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. Finalist for the National Book Award in 1994 for "White Man's Grave". One of the finest American novelists of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER RICHARD DOOLING TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).
