Santa Rosa, CA: Santa Teresa Press (1984)

Limited Edition. Signed.

Fine except for a subtle, hard to see smudge on the front cover.

One of 126 hard-bound copies signed by Robert B. Parker. Backfire was written as a proposal for a possible original screenplay. It was circulated in Hollywood, but remained unsold. "This is a story about how a man meets and makes friends with his wife's killer, not knowing even that she was murdered, nor that his friend knew her."
