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... 
















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 GuiltAn Image Of 
DeathA 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…”

This story was originally published in 
The Writes of Spring Anthology, Nodin 
Press, 2012, edited by Pat Frovarp and 


Gary Shulze 

Imagine if your 
spouse got caught n a Ponzi scheme. 

This story is about just that: two 
women whose husbands are involved in a 
fraudulent 
investment operation. 
The couples vacation 
at a posh ski resort, where the 
women take matters into 
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. I
t was published in the 
Fiction River Special Crime Edition, 
WGM       Publishing. I
f you'd like to read the story, l
et me know. I'll get it to you. 


Happy reading!

Warmly,

Libby
