Not as far as I can tell from checking Baker and Taylor and Ingram, the
two book jobbers I use to order. Death of a Marseilles Man (11/95), a
hardback listed at $29.95 from McCelland and Stewart is technically
listed as available to order from B&T. Ingram had no listings.

Just finished Michael Marshall Smith's One of Us. This one crosses
genres just like Spares did, and I liked it even more than Spares -
except for an evil little passage complaining about women using massage
as required foreplay ;)

The BDD site has a sample chapter, blurb and review tidbits at:

It mentions most of the main points, but neglects to mention the
importance of the futuristic free range appliances in the story...
