Chesbro, George C. Bone
NY Mysterious Press 1989 0-89296-204-6 / 9780892962044 First Hardcover Boards vg vg
From the dust jacket copy - Bone is a member of New York City's legions of the homeless. The past year of his life has been spent wandering the streets of Manhattan, mute, without memory, a street person among thousands of others---but one with a particular gleam of purpose in his eyes. Bone seemed to stand out from the drifting crowd, and one reason was certainly the ancient and rock-hard human femur he had carried with him everywhere. But after a year, another trauma reactivates the first---restoring Bone's voice but again wiping clear his memory. Bone is now not only bereft of his true life, but has no idea of the purpose of his wanderings during the past year. His problems are multiplied by NYPD Lieutenant Perry Lightning, convinced that Bone is the man responsible for the hideous series of beheading murders among the city's homeless population, which began shortly after Bone was first seen on the New York Streets. With the help of Anne, a lovely and concerned social worker, and Zulu, a seven-foot-tall street performer, Bone gradually puts back the pieces of his lost world---and confronts his connection with the string of vicious killings. A kaleidoscope of fascinating characters---including street cops, street thugs, and street people---populate George C. Chesbro's masterful new thriller of alienation and horror.

Chesbro, George C. The Cold Smell of Sacred Stone - Mongo # 6
NY Atheneum 1988 0689119135 / 9780689119132 First Hardcover Boards NF NF Horror - Mystery
SIXTH MONGO ADVENTURE - A collectable copy - DJ BLURB - In The Cold Smell of Sacred Stone, George Chesbro's dauntless dwarf detective, Mongo, returns in the most pulse-pounding and suspenseful adventure of his career. If he is to save his brother, Garth, from a fate worse than death, Mongo will have to outsmart the KGB, overpower a deranged killer with a special hatred for Mongo, and hardest of all, try to keep his head when faced with a terrible choice---preserve his brother's life at the risk of forever losing his love, or placing his brother in mortal jeopardy in an effort to win back his soul. Housed in a super-secret facility of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Garth lies in a coma beyond the reach and expertise of the specialists assigned to his care. Only Mongo knows the truth about the deadly secret locked in his brother's cells, yet to confide in the doctors now would be to put them both at even greater risk. Left with no other choice, Mongo must initiate his own highly risky program of therapy. The gamble pays off, but as Garth regains consciousness new perils unfold: It seems that Garth can now perform miracles, and he is soon surrounded by throngs of desperate men and women who proclaim him the "new Messiah." Yet as Garth fast becomes a national cult figure, he is also made the unsuspecting pawn in a treacherous plot of international terrorism. Casting Mongo into a perilous web of sinister intrigue and religious fanaticism, The Cold Smell of Sacred Stone inexorably builds to a shattering climax as competing ideologies, bombs, and bullets ricochet and explode inside a unique yet paradoxical monument to love and hatred, loyalty and treachery, wisdom and ignorance. Peter Straub has already hailed Chesbro "a master" of the genre, but never before has proof of his reputation been so dazzlingly displayed.

Chesbro, George C. Two Songe This Archangel Sings - Mongo # 5
NY Atheneum 1987 0689116594 / 9780689116599 First Hardcover Boards NF NF Dark Mystery
From Dust Jacket Copy - In Two Songs This Archangel Sings, George Chesbro's dauntless dwarf detective Mongo is faced with an impossible mission. And then it gets deadly. Mongo has only three clues to the mysterious disappearance of his artist friend and martial arts instructor Veil Kendry. A bullet hole. A cryptic oil painting. And an envelope, addressed to Mongo, containing $10,000. When Mongo leaves Veil's empty apartment, he steps into a living nightmare. As he probes into Veil's past, he discovers that in Viet Nam and Laos, as highly trained CIA operative---code-named Archangel---Veil had been assigned to a dangerous and corrupt special mission that nearly unhinged him. Now, decades later, Veil's former CIA control is about to become secretary of state. And Veil is the only one who can stop him. Armed with titan courage and rapier wit, Mongo follows the perilous trail of clues from Greenwich Village to the Catskill Mountains to a final showdown in the Capitol in which the entire nation's future is at stake. Action, suspense, a guardian angel, a haunting war legacy, and a grave political crisis---it's all here in Mongo's most gripping and literally most explosive case yet. Peter Straub has called George C. Chesbro "a master," and Two Songs This Archangel Sings is outstanding proof of Chesbro's reputation.
