From Libby Hellman



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 three million dollars. Molly’s 
father hires PI Georgia Davis to follow 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, 
muggled drugs, and an independent contractor come into play.

Capital Partners

















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. 

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 

Discover how the story unfolds at Amazon, 
B&NiBooks, and Kobo.

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, let me know. I'll get it to you. 


Happy reading!

Warmly,

Libby
