About This Item

[Bloomington, Indiana]:: 1stBooks Library, 2001. 6" wide by 9" tall. Trade paperback. Fine condition. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Bright, shiny, clean, square, and tight. Flat spine. No creases. Pages are fresh and crisp, probably never read. This is the 2001 1stBooks Library edition (author subsidized?), NOT the 2003 Biting Dog reprint. Laid-in is a letter submitting the book for IHO award consideration. Author's debut novel. From the book's website: "John Paul Allen's first novel compels its readers into a world in which death may only delay the inevitable. GIFTED TRUST encompasses the journey of one soul through three lives to its final confrontation with the evil that has chosen it as his own. Separated by seven decades, a literary agent, a convicted murderer, and a school teacher are connected through Virago, an indestructible entity manifested within each... On a Saturday afternoon in 1931, Max Belote kisses his wife goodbye before leaving for his office. As she anticipates his return, Max steps in front of an oncoming train. In the summer of 1977, as he awaits his execution for multiple murder, Jeffrey Roberts describes the unusual activities he has been involved in to 'perfect his soul'. In 2001, Edward Paine is questioned for a manuscript that vividly details the activities of a serial killer. His book is suspiciously filled with too much detail. How author John Paul Allen concocts a gripping horror saga that weaves these three seemingly unrelated events into one is a mystery in itself. However, the power of GIFTED TRUST lies in its portrayal of a living, breathing being who thrives on malice. In doing so, Allen presents a dark side that draws his characters into performing horrendous acts.". Signed by Author (signature /date only). First Edition (1stBooks - rev. 12/12/01). Softcover. Original pictorial wraps. 281pp..
