Busted Flush Press has released the bang-up cover of Damn Near Dead 2, its latest anthology of “geezer noir,” edited by Bill Crider and due out in the fall. Among that book’s lineup of contributors are Ace Atkins, Christa Faust, Don Winslow, C.J. Box, Bill Pronzini, S.J. Rozan, and The Rap Sheet’s own Cameron Hughes.

Credit for the cover illustration, by the way, goes to Jeff Wong, who also contributed the jacket art to Tom Nolan’s collection of Ross Macdonald fiction, The Archer Files: The Complete Short Stories of Lew Archer, Private Investigator.
