Synopsis
Alex Cahill and Logan Finch return in the gripping third novel in GJ Moffat's Glasgow-set crime series. A passenger jet crashes in Denver, Colorado, with no survivors. In Glasgow, Alex Cahill is surprised to hear from the wife of his former colleague in the US Secret Service - a man who was supposedly travelling on the doomed plane. The only catch is, there is no record of his name on the passenger list. And even Cahill's connections in the US intelligence agencies refuse to tell him what's going on. In a desperate search to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of his old friend, Cahill and Logan Finch head to Denver and a confrontation with the FBI. They are unaware however that a perfect storm of events is gathering across the globe. Events that stretch from Colorado, to the desolate expanse of war torn Afghanistan and to the mean streets of Glasgow - where DCI Rebecca Irvine is investigating a new drug that is killing users. It is a deadly storm that will engulf them all., Eugene O'Neill was the first American playwright to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. He completed The Iceman Cometh in 1939, but he delayed production until after the war, when it enjoyed a long run of performances in 1946 after receiving mixed reviews. Three years after O'Neill's death, Jason Robards starred in a Broadway revival that brought new critical attention to O'Neill's darkest and most nihilistic play. In the half century since, The Iceman Cometh has gained enormously in stature, and many critics now recognize it as one of the greatest plays in American drama. The Iceman Cometh focuses on a group of alcoholics and misfits who endlessly discuss but never act on their dreams, and Hickey, the traveling salesman determined to strip them of their pipe dreams., Eugene O'Neill's darkest and most nihilistic play, with a foreword by Harold Bloom "We live and die, in the spirit, in solitude, and the true strength of Iceman is its intense dramatic exemplification of that somber reality. . . .

    Purchased 5 car Madison rail car set at auction. Received package well wrapped and in original box. Cars themselves are in excellent condition and mostly as described, although I believe they have seen some track time. That being said, seller offers returns so I'm confident seller was told these cars were new by whomever he got them from. The purchase price was excellent so when averaged with a higher than normal shipping fee it turned out to be an overall good deal.

    The magazine arrived in the mail quickly with tracking by USPS. The item was shipped in corregated cardboard surrounded by cardboard protected by a plastic sleeve. The item was as described. An excellent value for a vintage item.
