    Up for pre-order: New HCC book to be signed by Brian De Palma.

    Saw this in today's e-newsletter, and I thought some folks here might be interested in a Brian De Palma signature on his new crime book coming out soon from Hard Case Crime. Publication day is still a month away (March 17th), so the signing won't be for a while, but pre-orders are being taken now:

    The authors are also going to be at the Strand Bookstore on March 16th, the day before publication:

    Thanks for this, Ron. Ordered! I'm a long-time HUGE De Palma fan, and had no idea about this. Funnily enough, I hovered over the Mysterious Bookshop newsletter email this morning- and hit "delete" without opening. I love their newsletter but said to myself "You can't afford to need anything in it today. What you don't know won't hurt you". This trumps that thought! Again- thanks for posting.

      Always glad to help you spend your money, Ron.

        I have yet to be disappointed with a Hard Case story.

          Hopefully, this won't be the first! De Palma is nothing if not polarizing, and I'd bet that his first foray into prose won't be any different.

              I was not aware of this. I know De Palma is a movie producer but at the moment I am to exhausted to even think of one of his movies.

                The two that come to mind for me are Scarface and Carrie.

                    Thank you. I had in my head that he had done a King story but could not pull it up.

                      Did anyone ever get this book? I see that the unsigned edition is available on Amazon. I emailed the store to see if there were any updates on the signed copy, but haven't heard back.

                        Yes, I did. According to their last news letter (Mysterious Book shop), the book is still available.

                            Thanks guys. I emailed again. If I don't hear back I'll just call them next time.

                              My copy from the Mysterious Bookshop- ordered the day Ron posted about here- was "fulfilled" on June 15, after an understandable Covid delay. I had also placed an order at the same time with Strand bookstore, but they cancelled the order soon after Covid hit. I recently got an email from them saying that they now have signed copies, in case I wanted to reorder. So, if you have any issues with your MP order (they look sold out online), try Strand. i haven't read the book yet, but reviews have been pretty brutal. Also, De Palma's signature is pretty rough. Hard to tell it's even him. I don't know what I was expecting, but.. just FYI.
