Jamie Sturgeon just sent me a rather striking cover to add to the Andrew Spiller cover gallery set up after the author was discussed here on the M*F blog a couple of months ago.

   You can find the other covers we’ve collected at mysteryfile.com/Spiller/Covers, and I hope you’ll go take a look, even if you did before. For the most part the covers are more colorful (if not lurid) than the ones used to decorate mysteries in the US in the same time period, 1945-1960.

   Coming up soon will be a review by me of one of Spiller’s crime fiction novels. It was, to say the least, “unusual.”
