"The Negotiator" by Frederick Forsyth, published by Bantam Press, New York, 1989. First Edition, First printing with "May 1989" and the full number line on the copyright page.

Dust jacket with un-clipped price of $!9.95 on the front flap [a little edge wear]; black hard boards, black cloth spine with silvery lettering on it; 6.1/4" x 9.1/2"; 391 pages; very good condition.

The story includes a number of threads that are slowly woven together. The central thread concerns a kidnapping that turns into a murder and the negotiator's attempts to solve the crime.

"Frederick Forsyth is a genius with a pen. This particular endeavor wouldn't be my favorite, even though it pursues kidnapping with a different twist, deeper plot than usual and a few surprises. Compared to other writers of this generation, Forsyth still ranks number 1 in my book. He knows history, he understands how people think, and he does impeccable homework, no matter what the subject."
