The Gift [*SIGNED*]

New York: Warner Books. Fine in Near Fine dj. 1992. First Edition. Hardcover. [nice tight copy with no discernible wear, appears unread; jacket is very nice, with just a touch of surface rubbing and a short (1/2") scrape mark across the front hinge]. INSCRIBED briefly and SIGNED by the author on the title page: "For _____ / Kirk Douglas / '92." The actor-turned-novelist channels his inner Harold Robbins to tell "an enthralling tale of romance, passion and suspense that sweeps the reader across two continents," about an unlikely romance between "an orphaned American heiress, unsure about her future and her enormous fortune" and "a rising star of the Portuguese bullring, whose meteoric ascent to fame is suddenly cut short by tragic injury." They are "brought together by Ultimato, a magnificent gray stallion that unites them in an unexpected link of intimacy while, at the same time, they clash in frequently agonizing conflicts." How did this not become a cable-TV miniseries, back before cable TV was, you know, respectable? Signed by Author .
