I have read this, butu so loong ago I retain only a vaguely favorable feeling, as I have to Reily's McKee series in general ( ) I’m not too familiar w/ Macfadden Books. It’s my impression that they came to the vintage paperback party a little late in the day, and, fair or not, I tend to think of them as decidedly second-tier. But they did produce some cool, pulpy cover art that recalls (in a 1960s sort of way) those great quasi-trashy covers of nearly two decades prior for such vintage publishers as Avon, Eton and Graphic. I just love the Dead Man Control cover . . . . . [by the way – what about that title ; what exactly is ‘dead man control’? something to do with zombies?]. Anyway, things I like about the cover : the splashy, choppy red color which dominates the cover [I presume it represents blood -- well, duh!] ; the shadowy figure of the P.I. lurking in the background ; and the girl’s late 50s/early 60s hair style. By the way, Helen Reilly seemed to be served very well by the covers of her books ; see : http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/r/helen-reilly/ [that Dell Silver Leopard cover is an absolute classic!] and http://www.mysteryfile.com/Reilly/Grost.html - BCS Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
