Another Look: “Headed for a Hearse”

Warning: Artistic inspiration drawn from book titles may vary.



Left: Headed for a Hearse, by Jonathan Latimer (Century Book, 1950); cover artist identified only as “Duur.” Right: Headed for a Hearse, by Jonathan Latimer (Great Pan, 1960); cover illustration by Henry Fox. Published originally in 1935, this was one of Latimer’s five novels to star “decidedly hedonistic, booze-soaked and possibly inept [Chicago] detective” Bill Crane.
