Unknown Man No. 89 Elmore Leonard — Signed Limited Edition, Copy #2 of 100 — The Armchair Detective Library / Otto Penzler Books, New York, 1993 A signed and numbered limited edition of Elmore Leonard's 1977 crime novel — a book Alfred Hitchcock once acquired the rights to and considered filming as his follow-up to Family Plot, his final film, before the project was abandoned. Issued in 1993 by The Armchair Detective Library as part of Otto Penzler's fine press-style collectible series reissuing landmark crime fiction, this copy is number 2 of only 100 signed and numbered copies produced — among the lowest-numbered copies in the print run, hand-signed by Leonard on the limitation page. Unknown Man No. 89 follows process server Jack Ryan as he is hired to track down a missing man, and finds himself drawn into a web of con artists, criminals, and double-crosses in Detroit. This Armchair Detective Library edition includes a new introduction by Leonard. Elmore Leonard (1925–2013) is widely regarded as one of the greatest American crime writers, celebrated for his razor-sharp dialogue, comic timing, and morally complex characters. His novels have inspired dozens of major film and television adaptations including Get Shorty, Out of Sight, Jackie Brown, and the series Justified.
