Grancpol | 128 comments This book is the Polish edition - most of the data are correct apart from the fact that the title is in English (should be Czas zapłaty) and the cover is wrong. The proper cover here: http://www.wydawnictwoalbatros.com/ks...

Then here you can find another Polish edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
This time the title and the cover are correct. However the description is in English.
The description in Polish:

Kontynuacja bestsellerowego CZASU ZABIJANIA. Autor ponownie zabiera nas do Clanton, gdzie przed kolejną sprawą staje adwokat Jake Brigance. Nieuleczalnie chory Seth Hubbart popełnia samobójstwo, przekazując wcześniej cały swój majątek czarnoskórej gosposi. Czy powtórzy się sytuacja nsprzed lat, kiedy to Clanton tak wyraźnie podzieliło się na czarnych i białych?

Some missing bits and pieces about that edition:

Additional authors: Lech Z. Żołędziowski (Translator), Zbigniew Kościuk (Translator)
Number of Pages: 640
ISBN: 9788378858485
Format: Hardcover

Published - April 2014


message 2: by Arenda (new) - added it

Arenda | 26448 comments At first I thought you might be right, but the Polish edition with the English title and cover was added completely by one user, including a link to the publishers page. The URL to the publishers page also says Sycamore Row.
I did find a Polish blog where the same English title cover is used: http://krimifantamania.blogspot.nl/20...
And I can't find that this cover is used on any English edition.

So I left the English title and created an alternate cover edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

For the hardcover edition, there were also two editions. Marked one as alternate cover edition.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Both English title and cover editions have a link at the top of the description to the matching Polish title edition.

Grancpol | 128 comments Hmmmm...

Haven't done my homework properly then :)
Without going much into the details I've just assumed that one cover is for the paperwork and the other for hardcover edition (as actually stated on the Publisher's website).

Thanks for sorting it out.
