Blood Work

Michael Connelly · Little, Brown · 1998

The Little, Brown Boston edition is the true first TRADE edition. Note a precedence wrinkle: Dennis McMillan Publications issued a signed, numbered limited edition (300 numbered plus 26 lettered copies, quarter-leather, art by Wayne Kral) dated December 1997, ahead of the Little, Brown March 1998 trade printing; collectors treat the McMillan issue as the first printing overall and the Little, Brown as the first trade edition.
