We are rolling along in the Crime Fiction Alphabet for 2013 meme.
This week we are up to the letter K.
Kerry's Blog
is kind enough to sponsor this community meme each and every week. The rules are very
simple: The posts must be related to either the first letter of a
book's
title, the first letter of an author's first name, or the first
letter of the author's surname, or even maybe a crime fiction
"topic". But above all, it has to be crime fiction
. This time around I will be featuring a Carter Brown title for each letter of the alphabet.
Carter Brown: K is for Kiss Michelle Goodbye
 |
| US Edition 1981 |
She was the life of the party.
Until she wound up dead!
 |
| Horwitz Edition 1984 |
Danny Boyd's search for a missing
girl began with a messy murder, and it was all uphill from then on. He'd
been retained by the murder victim, Zandra Lyn, to find her friend
Michelle, who'd mysteriously vanished somewhere in Santo Bahia. Boyd
figured there had to be a connection between Zandra's death and
Michelle's disappearance, and when the bullets started to fly in his
direction, he knew he was right. Danny also knew that a dead detective
would not be much good to his dead employer, but it looked like the next
victim to be kissed off would be Boyd himself.

Note
This title appeared on August 2011 in a slightly different form.
Interesting how the Russian and French covers are quite different to the others. I kind of like the Russian one actually.
ReplyDeleteThe Russian one also has a different title "Goodbye Kiss". Or at least that's what I can tell from my rusty Russian.
DeleteI go with the Russian cover as my favorite too. I also like the ones with the woman sitting or reclining inside the bull's eye.
