Warner: NY 2004 First edition, first printing, mint, new/unread, flawless dustjacket, signed by the authors.

Those who admire risk, take note: two authors at the top of their game have done something quite new. Those who fear change, take heart: the results are just fine. Faye and Jonathan Kellerman, each with a slew of bestsellers, have collaborated on a volume comprising two mystery novellas. Each stands on its own, with separate settings (Santa Fe and Boston) and separate pairs of homicide detectives. To further heighten the distinction, the book has two front covers, with the authors alternating first billing and a "flip" format. It's intriguing to imagine how these two pros went about writing together, but it's even more fun just to jump in and enjoy. The characters are all new, and so are the locales that in itself is worthy of admiration. The Boston piece is about the mysterious death of a young basketball star. The Santa Fe story with its fully rounded characters possesses an evocative sense of place. The final scene, haunting and heartbreaking, shows the assured hand of a master. This is an unusual husband-wife pairing, received plenty of media attention and a exciting run on bestseller lists.
