Man, I love this cover

I've been getting ready for Bouchercon and the Boston Book Festival and so have been sending the usual author photos and cover art jpegs. I just love the cover of Boston Noir. Although I'm not sure where this was shot, it reminds me of your standard springtime view of the Public Gardens, usually in full bloom, with the swan boats swanning and everything looking very clean, colorful, pretty, and ready to be on a tourist brochure. This is...something else. You can feel the cold, you can feel the slush seeping into your shoes. It sets the tone right away.

You'll love the rest of the book, too. I promise.

(Next blog will be more of Gerry's adventures in Turkey. I promise.)
