SEVERAL DEATHS LATER - FIRST HARD COVER - SIGNED. NY: St. Martin's Press, 1988. First Edition. 5 1/2 x 8. Hard Cover. Signed by Author. Fine / Very Good. ISBN: 0312022794. The popular game show "Celebrity Circle" is something of a graveyard for show-biz mediocrities, so Tobin, the five-foot-five movie critic with the fiery hair and the equally fiery temper, is les than thrilled to accept a guest stint as the show films a week's worth of broadcasts aboard an ocean liner. But Tobin's career has hit the skids since he solved his TV partner's murder (Murder on the Aisle 1987), money is money, and besides, he gets a free cruise in the bargain. But someone on board has more in mind that fabulous prizes, and Ken Norris, the smarmy emcee of "Celebrity Circle," turs up with a knife in his back. The Captain blames Cindy McBain, the young secretary from Kansas City in whose room the victim's body was discovered. ALthough Tobin fins her wearing nothing but a robe covered in Norris' blood, he thinks she is innocent, if less than pure-- and he swears his belief has nothign to do with her incredible body or her enthusiastically expressed affection for celebrities.
