Publisher's Note
His car is dead, his wife has left him, and Detective Dave Moser needs all the friends he can get. Instead, hes about to take on a case that buries him in a morass of corruption and contract murder in the NYPD. Once again Kenneth Abel, author of the acclaimed novel Bait, hurtles us into the gritty, hair-raising world of cops and criminals as Moser finds himself alone, hunting a killer, torn between loyalty and honor, survival and...The Blue Wall.Its not just another floater when Moser and his partner investigate a gorgeous young woman, found dead in the water, missing both eyes. She looked like she came from money with her fancy dental work. No needle tracks. A VIP missing persons report leads Moser to a Park Avenue address and the girls father, a wealthy Guatemalan with a stone-faced bodyguard and a lot to hide. As Moser and his partner look for leads in the case, a series of unrelated homicides follow-- unrelated until Moser connects the lives of the victims. And when Lt. Tom Richter of the hated Internal Affairs Division tries to persuade him to investigate a fellow cop, its clear that theres another correlation as well. Mosers on a downhill slide--straight into a federal probe of organized crime thats directly connected to his case.A wiseguy is singing like a canary, implicating Mosers friend as ringleader of a gang of bent cops, connecting him to the murder that haunts Mosers days and nights. And Mosers the man in the middle: suspected as a possible co-conspirator if he doesn't play along with IAD, loathed as a rat if he does. If he wants a future--in or out of the force--he must keep his own counsel, watch his back, and follow a bloody, unmarked trail to its bitter end.Stunning, taut, bristling with suspense, The Blue Wall races to an explosive climax that will echo in memory long after the last page is turned.

Industry reviews
"Readers of Kenneth Abel's impressive debut novel, "Bait", will be even more impressed with his latest tale featuring NYPD detectives, bent cops, crooks, killings and a money-laundering scheme that only an obsessive hacker could figure out....Your page-turning will exceed the speed limit."
Philadelphia Inquirer - Richard Fuller (05/19/1996)

""Blue Wall, with its finely tuned plot and comic subtext, is one of those savvy crime thrillers that sparkle with wit, cynicism and intelligence. It's both a riveting potboiler and good, clean--well, at least semi-clean--fun."
Washington Post Book World - Bob Allen (08/04/1996)

"A bravura performance from the immensely talented Abel."
Barra

THE FINE PRINT

Please be sure to become familiar with the terms of our listings and e-mail your questions before your purchase.

 

About Condition:  It’s not our practice to use stock photos.  With very few exceptions the photograph you see is the actual item offered for sale or auction.  The condition is described as honestly as possible and we strive to point out obvious and not so obvious flaws.  Item evaluation is subjective . . . it’s our goal to err on the conservative side.

 

About Best Offers:   Reasonable Best Offers are given serious consideration when the option is available.

 

About Payment:  We ask that you pay for your purchase through PayPal within five days of the listing’s end date.  In the unlikely event you are unable to complete the process within the five days and you have not contacted us for instructions, we will be forced to notify eBay of the unpaid status and the item will be withdrawn and likely relisted.

 

About Shipping:   The buyer pays the shipping costs for the item as shown in the listing including the cost to ship any item accepted for return and the cost of customs or duties associated with international shipping.  After payment is confirmed through PayPal, your purchase will be shipped usually within 24 hours not including weekends and holidays.  Generally, you will receive notice either from PayPal or USPS that we have prepared the shipping label for your package.  In most cases, you will receive an e-mail from us when we deliver your package to the shipper which will include the shipper’s estimated delivery time.  At the present time we are shipping only within the United States.

 

First Edition books are always shipped in new or clean recycled boxes with appropriate cushioning to help avoid damage in transit.

 

About Shipping Discounts:  We generally apply a flat rate for shipping based on the item listed, although certain large, fragile or heavier than normal items will have calculated shipping charges based on the weight and size of the packaging.  We make every attempt to recycle clean packing material in an effort to keep our shipping and handling charges as low as possible.  We will discount the shipping costs for the second and each subsequent purchase within a 48-hour period as long as combined shipping doesn’t compromise the safety of the items you purchase.  If you are bidding on multiple items, please e-mail us and wait until we send you a combined invoice which will allow us to calculate your discount.

 

About Returns:  Although we don’t offer to accept returns on all items (See “Return Policy” in the lower portion of this listing), we want you to be happy with your shopping experience.  We’re proud to stand behind the items we offer and we’re committed to your satisfaction. If there is a serious problem with this item - if it is in any way misrepresented, or arrives damaged or broken by the shipping carrier, please contact us via e-mail right away and we will do our best to resolve the situation to your satisfaction.

 

About Feedback:  Feedback is important to us and we know it is important to you.  We will leave feedback for you when your payment has cleared.

 

Please be aware of the impact of eBay’s new Seller Rating System --  Under the new eBay system, even if you indicate your feedback as “positive” but you check fewer than 5 Stars in any category, your feedback has a negative impact on the Seller’s ratings.  Neutral feedback also has a negative impact on the Seller’s ratings.  Please give us the opportunity to satisfy any concerns you may have before leaving us less than perfect feedback.  Thanks.
