About the Book

The first novel in crime writer Libby Fischer Hellmann's popular Ellie Foreman mystery series, An Eye for Murder, introduces the documentary filmmaker, single mom, and amateur sleuth in a tale that opens in Nazi-era Prague and closes on the North Shore suburb of present-day Chicago. When an elderly stranger, Ben Sinclair, watches Ellie's "Celebrate Chicago" cable television show and dies suddenly not long after, Ellie receives a letter from Ben's landlady, who's found Ellie's name on a scrap of paper among Ben's possessions. Agreeing to help dispose of his effects, but not knowing of any connection, Ellie begins to piece together Ben's story from the books and wartime relics he's left behind. Ellie's search for clues takes her on a dangerous, winding trail from the political present of the North Shore to buried memories of the city's ethnic neighborhoods and steel mills, an illicit love affair, Nazi-era intrigue, and more than one murder thrown in. Introducing an exciting new character, An Eye for Murder (published in 2002) is the first of six Ellie Foreman mystery thrillers from Libby Fischer Hellmann. It was nominated for an Anthony Award (Best First), one of the mystery community's most prestigious awards.

About the Author :
Libby Fischer Hellmann left a career in broadcast news in Washington, DC and moved to Chicago a long time ago, where she, naturally, began to write gritty crime fiction. She soon began writing historical fiction as well. Eighteen novels and twenty-five short stories later, she claims they'll take her out of the Windy City feet first. She has been nominated for many awards in the mystery and crime writing community and has even won a few. She has been a finalist twice for the Anthony and the Shamus; and four times for Foreword Magazine's Book of the Year. She has also been nominated for the Agatha, the Daphne, and she won the Chicago Writers Association Book of the Year in 2021. She has won the IPPY, Foreword Magazine's Indie Awards, and the Readers Choice Award multiple times. Libby was the President of Sisters in Crime in 2006. For two years she hosted "Solved," a streaming video show featuring bestselling and emerging Crime Authors. She was also the host of "Second Sunday Crime," a podcast with the Authors on the Air network. Both show series are available on YouTube.

Review :
"A masterful blend of politics, history, and suspense this novel is well worth reading... sharp humor and vivid language... Ellie is an engaging amateur sleuth. Readers will hope they won't have towait too long for Ellie's return. Publishers Weekly "A clever blend of thrills and humor... Hellmann has created a compelling group of believable characters..." Chicago Sun-Times "Complicated... fascinating... Hellmann has a beautifully tuned ear... which makes many of her scenes seriously funny." Dick Adler, Chicago Tribune "Entertaining and well written... a surprising and satisfying conclusion." Ted Hertel, Mystery News
