The Friday Face-Off: Detective Noir

The Friday Face-Off was created by Books by Proxy, where each week bloggers can showcase books with covers centered around a weekly theme. You can visit Lynn’s Books for a list of upcoming themes. Join in the fun each Friday by finding a book whose cover is based on the theme!

This week’s theme: Detective/Noir

Technically, the prompt calls for “20s Detective Noir,” but I couldn’t find anything from that era. Instead, I’ve chosen Stephen King’s The Colorado Kid, which fits the noir theme, even though it’s set in a different era. I like a lot of these covers, take a look:

Hard Case Crime edition, 2006 | Hard Case Crime Illustrated Edition, 2019 | Greek, 2015 edition

PS Publishing edition, 2010 | French edition, 2006 | Russian edition, 2015

Polish edition, 2005 | Spanish edition, 2015 | Hungarian edition, 2008

For me it’s a tie between the two Hard Case editions. I like them both, and they both say “detective/noir” to me.


Which cover do you like best?
