You just never know. I live near a thrift store in Philly,
and I check there once in awhile, just because....you never
know. And the last visit I got THE ART STUDIO MURDERS by
Edward S. Aarons (had been looking for that forever); QUILLER
BARRACUDA by Hall
(not supposed to be that good but still, it's a Quiller);
another spy novel, written by E. Howard Hunt under the David
St. John pseudonym; Stephen Marlowe's DRUMBEAT -- MARIANNE;
and, best of all, absolutely mint (I mean, they look like
they were bought and put on a shelf) copies of DEATH OF A
CITIZEN and THE WRECKING CREW, both by Donald Hamilton of
course. All at fifty cents a pop.
You just never know.
