Lot 298
It is hand signed by the author. In a complete dust jacket designed by Honi Werner. Very clean with the merest touch of edge-wear. With the original price of $12.95 and the date code of "0382" at the bottom of the rear inside flap. With a photograph of the rugged author on the rear inside flap. This copy is signed in full in blue flair ink on the front endpaper: "Shirley, Best wishes, Robert B. Parker." Full signatures are becoming scarce, especially in the early Spenser novels. Ceremony is the ninth Spenser novel by Robert B. Parker, first published in 1982. It is the first of three Spenser novels involving the character April Kyle, who returns in Taming a Sea-Horse and Hundred-Dollar Baby. Spenser is hired to find a runaway 16-year-old girl. It soon becomes obvious that she has turned to prostitution. The book opens with Spenser and Susan Silverman talking with the Kyles about their missing daughter, April. Mr. Kyle apparently saw her in the act of seducing a John, a man about his age. He's livid at the thought of his daughter working as a prostitute and voices his opinion loudly. Spenser is clearly not interested in working for Mr. Kyle at any price, but the pleadings of Susan Silverman and Mrs. Kyle persuade Spenser to take the job (which he does for the nominal fee of one dollar).
