From Libby Fischer Hellmann

Hi, everyone. I have some fun things for you this time: not 
one, but two stories each under a dollar, 
and I could use your help figuring out a new cover for one of my books... 
Find out what 
happens 
next here .















Little Molly Messenger is kidnapped 
on a sunny June morning. Three days later she’s returned, 
apparently unharmed. A few days later, the brakes 
go out on Molly’s mother’s car.An accident? Maybe. Except that it 
turns out that Chris, Molly’s mother, is the IT manager at 
a large Chicago bank and may have misappropriated t
hree million dollars. Molly’s father hires PI Georgia Davis to f
ollow the money and investigate 
Chris’s death.Doubleback reunites PI Georgia 
Davis (Easy Innocence) with video producer Ellie 
Foreman (An Eye For Murder, A Picture Of Guilt, An Image Of 
Death, A Shot To Die For). The two women track leads from 
Northern Wisconsin to an Arizona border town, where 
illegal immigrants, smuggled drugs, and an i
independent contractor come into play.



















Publishers Weekly called it “a fine story…”

spouse got caught n a Ponzi scheme. 
This story is about just that: two

their own hands.

Help a Graphically-Challenged 
Author Out?theMost of you already have the 
complimentary copy of An Image of Death I sent out a 
month or so ago. (If not, let me know, and I'll get it to you.)

Well... we now realize the cover 
looks too sweet and not enough like the 
thriller crime novel it is.

Have any suggestions for me? 
I'd love to hear them!  
Just email me back, or join the 
conversation on my Facebook video  here .   Finally, if you are Bouchercon-bound 
this fall, two of my works are eligible to be nominated for 
an Anthony Award (the deadline for nominations is in 2 weeks): 
--  Nobody's Child is eligible 
for Best Paperback Original 
-- "No Good Deed," about the 
unlikely friendship between a former KKK member 
and a young black boy in prison, is eligible for 
Best Short Story. It was published in the 
Fiction River Special Crime Edition, WGM       Publishing. If you'd like to read the story, l
et me know. I'll get it to you. 

Happy reading!

Warmly,

Libby
