Boldly SIGNED by Pronzini at front end paper. A "Nameless" bookmark is laid in. In Bindlestiff, Nameless begins to recover from the problems that were introduced in Scattershot. He has recovered his license, which was suspended, is recovering from his wound. An unlikely client, and an even more unlikely case, arrive as Nameless goes back to work. Proper Miss Arlene Bradford has seen a newspaper photograph of her missing father, whom she doesn't like and doesn't miss in the least, and wants Nameless to find him so he can collect an inheritance. Her sister, Hannah, tries to talk Nameless out of taking the case. Self-interest could be the reason. If Bradford cannot be found, the sisters split his portion of the inheritance. The only complication is . . . Charles Bradford travels the rails as a hobo, a "bindlestiff". The trail leads Nameless into the hobo camps that accompany railroads and into a mystery connected to a railway museum. . Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book.
