Publisher's signed edition with signature on front endpaper; 'Signed 1st Edition' sticker on front of jacket. Gretchen is still on the loose, and Archie is still hospitalized after his ploy to catch her went spectacularly wrong. They've entered a detente of sorts - Archie has agreed not to kill himself if she agrees not to kill anyone else. Then a zealous fan of Gretchen's pays homage to the Beauty Killer by luring Archie and reporter Susan Ward to the scene of a grisly murder. At least they hope it's the work of someone new, for the prospect of Gretchen breaking her promise to him is more than Archie can bear.
