The Goldfish Bowl

London: Victor Gollancz, 1987. First British Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 0575039353. DJ in Mylar, unclipped. Book has light wear and shelf soiling, lightly yellowed pages. DJ has some creasing.; A bright, solid book, DJ in Mylar ; Willows and Parker #1; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 192 pages; This is the first Willows and Parker Vancouver based mystery "At first, the targets of Vancouver's serial killer seem totally unrelated, except for the engine of their deaths a Winchester 460 Magnum rifle. But one of the victims is detective David Atkinson, and that makes it very personal for the Vancouver police, and especially for Jack Willows and his new partner, Claire Parker, who take over the investigation, learning about each other as they try to track down the wily sniper. Gough's first novel is an absorbing psychological thriller. He has a sure sense of pace that generates and sustains tension, and a gift for authentic, gritty dialogue. He's persuasive in his description of the progressive dementia of the assassin, even though he unfairly withholds clues to the killer's identity, not granting even the astute reader a fair chance to use deductive powers. The solution to the puzzle arrives without preparation, but with enormous shock value. The final scene is nail-biting drama, closing an entertaining novel that augurs well for Gough's future in this genre.". Very Good in Very Good dust jacket .

Wealthy stock promoter Harold Wismer is having an affair with a woman named Melanie Martel. Ozzie and his buddy Dean will kidnap Harold as he leaves Melanie’s apartment, and then demand a five-million-dollar ransom from Harold’s loving wife, Joan.

The original Trampoline Man, he’s suffered numerous multi-million-dollar losses playing the market, and always bounced back.This is Ozzie’s second attempt at snatching a wealthy promoter.

But Jake is old, and methodical.Vancouver police detectives Jack Willows and Claire Parker are assigned the task of investigating Harold’s sudden and violent disappearance. Willows balks. His son, Sean, has been critically wounded in a convenience-store holdup, and Willows, distraught, doesn’t want to abandon that case. But he is soon convinced that the two crimes are related, and the furiously paced hunt is on.. Very Good .
