Monday Mystery Backlist - AN IMAGE OF DEATH

This week I'm excited to have a mini "Libby Hellman week." Libby is preparing to release her new novel DOUBLEBACK, which I will be reviewing tomorrow. We will also be talking with Libby in an interview on Friday. So in honor of both of those events this week, I'm highlighting a book that's recently been re-released from Libby's Ellie Foreman series for this Monday Mystery Backlist.

AN IMAGE OF DEATH is Libby Hellmann's third book in her series focused on Chicago filmmaker Ellie Foreman. In this installment, Ellie is filming a documentary on foster children for the very wealthy real estate developer Ricki Feldman when she receives a hand-delivered, unmarked package. Ellie finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation when that package reveals a surveillance videotape showing the murder of a young woman, a young woman who Ellie discovers happens to have a background in Eastern Europe as a diamond cutter during the fall of the Soviet Union.

AN IMAGE OF DEATH was originally released as a hardcover (ISBN: 1-59058-1016) by Poisoned Pen Press in January of 2004. This fall Poisoned Pen Press has re-released AN IMAGE OF DEATH in trade paper (ISBN: 978-1590586754).
