| Publisher Description: "Libby Fischer Hellmann has written a wonderful thriller. Triggered by a seemingly trivial exchange of intelligence in Prague near the end of World War II, the story quickly moves to contemporary Chicago, where the already harried life of Ellie Foreman is turned upside down by the death of an elderly man she can't recall ever even meeting. An Eye For Murder is a clever mystery puzzle within a beautifully wrought novel." -Jeremiah Healy author of the John Francis Cuddy mysteries "A masterful blend of politics, history, and suspense, this novel is well worth reading." -Publishers Weekly "Complicated, fascinating. Hellmann has a beautifully tuned ear, which makes many of her scenes seriously funny. Her film-editor instincts tell her when to let a scene run on and when to cut away." -Dick Adler, Chicago Tribune Libby Hellmann holds a MFA in film production from New York University, and a BA from the University of Pennsylvania. She lives and writes in the Chicago area. http: //hellmann.com/mystery-author |
