L.A. Requiem

US Doubleday hardcover is the true first; the eighth Elvis Cole novel and the series breakout title. A same-year Scorpion Press (UK) limited edition — 99 numbered copies signed by Crais plus 16 specially bound lettered copies, carrying an appreciation by Tami Hoag — was also issued; it is a separate signed limited issue and does not displace the Doubleday trade edition as the first.
