Vampire Bytes Linda Grant 1998 Signed First Edition First Printing

A signed first edition of Linda Grant's Vampire Bytes, the final full length mystery featuring San Francisco private investigator Catherine Sayler.

Published by Scribner in 1998, this copy is a true first edition, first printing, with the complete number line including "1" on the copyright page.

Even better, the book has been personally signed and inscribed by Linda Grant on the title page:

"To John — Bon Appétit! Linda Grant"

Vampire Bytes is an especially interesting mystery from the early days of the modern internet and computer gaming era. Catherine Sayler is drawn into the strange death of a computer game developer whose body appears to bear the marks of a vampire bite. Grant weaves together murder, software development, computer gaming, live action role playing and late 1990s technology culture in an unusual Silicon Valley mystery.

The book retains its striking original red, black and white dust jacket.
