War, Sabotage, Oil Prices
Here's the latest spell-binding thriller from Alistair MacLean -- about an enormous, sophisticated, mobile oil rig called the Seawitch, anchored off the American coast in the Gulf. It's owned by a maverick oil tycoon billionaire who's out to beat the big companies at their own game.
Technologically advanced, the Seawitch can supply him with enough cheap oil to undercut prices on the world market -- and there's nothing his rivals can do about it -- at least nothing he can foresee. Then, the direct armed assaults and the deadly campaign of sabotage begin, carried out by a ruthless soldier of fortune determined to succeed at any cost.
It's an action packed story and one of the best of MacLean's 20 bestsellers. The hardbound book was published in 1977 by Doubleday and Co., Garden City, New York. It's in As New condition with no defects we can find. The dust jacket is present and Very Good with some minor scuffs. Great reading for a long evening. (2189/rR)

Cardinal Sins, Greeley HB Expose'
Thus book follows the lives of two Irish boys who grow up on the West Side of Chicago and enter the priesthood. One will remain a parish priest all his life; the other will become a powerful cardinal. We meet them in the last summer before they enter the seminary - the summer by the lake when they discover their sexual selves in the arms of two young girls whose love and lives will entwine with theirs all through the years.
We share their triumphs and tragedies as Pat rises to the center of power in the Vatican itself, surrendering ideals, yielding to sexual temptation, sharing forbidden pleasures, yet achieving success in the world's eyes. For Kevin, for whom refusal to surrender principle is both his strength and his failing, success comes in another guise.
Written by Andrew M. Greeley, this is THE CARDINAL SINS, a 350-page hardbound book. It was published in this 1981 FIRST PRINTING by Warner Books, New York.
Condition is Very Good, although a spill on front of the dust jacket caused it to stick to front covers of the book. It's repairable. The dust jacket also shows some minor edge/corner wear and slight yellowing on edges. (r13rev)

White Lies: Love, Loyalty, Dishonesty

It’s a remarkable portrait of family life as it really is – by a novelist of uncommon perceptions and integrity.
