Sinopsis

Ellie Foreman is producing a video about foster children that's being financed by a successful Chicago real estate developer. But her plans get thrown for a loop when a mysterious package appears at her door one winter night. Inside she finds a surveillance video showing the murder of a young woman. Who was this woman and what is her connection to Ellie? The cops shunt her aside. But the urgency she feels to find answers, coupled with her professional knowledge of film, compel her to sleuth despite the difficulties borne from a complex history with her lover. A little digging reveals that the murder victim was a courier with a dark history forged in Eastern Europe at the time of the Soviet Union's collapse. And a little more digging reveals dark happenings here at home, money laundering, and the deadly price of dealing in diamonds.... A transplant from Washington, D.C., Libby Hellmann has lived in the Chicago area for thirty years. When not writing fiction, she conducts executive training programs in presentation skills, speech delivery, and media interviews. She also writes video scripts, articles, and speeches. She holds a BA from the University of Pennsylvania and an MFA in Film Production from New York University. After an eight-year stint in television news, including PBS and NBC, she spent eight years at Burson-Marsteller, the large public relations firm. Libby lives on the North Shore of Chicago with her family.

Cr�ticas

"Chicago is fortunate to have a number of fine mystery writers who use the city to good effect in their novels. One of the best is Libby Fischer Hellmann, whose latest whodunit, An Image of Death, once again calls Chicago home. When someone drops a videotape showing the murder of a young woman on filmmaker Ellie Foreman's doorstep, her outrage and curiosity are aroused, and she pledges to discover the victim's identity and help bring her killers to justice. What Foreman discovers, however, is that there are some very dangerous people behind the murder and they're willing to kill again and again to protect their identities. Not only has Hellmann created a compelling group of believable characters, but the mystery she places them in is likewise plausible and engrossing. An Image of Death is highly recommended, even if you don't live in Illinois." -- David Montgomery, Chicago Sun-Times of An Image of Death "With her somewhat disreputable past, Foreman comes across as a complex and flawed heroine, who grapples with issues as large as murder and as mundane as an overdue visit to her father. Foreman's pluck and grit married to Hellmann's solid storytelling should win a growing audience." -Publishers Weekly of An Image of Death "A chilling subject matter, intriguing psychological suspense, and disturbing Eastern European connections recommends this to most collections." -Library Journal of An Image of Death "Chicago is fortunate to have a number of fine mystery writers who use the city to good effect in their novels.
