The Last Place God Made, by “Jack Higgins,” aka Henry “Harry” Patterson (Fawcett Crest, 1973). Cover art by Ron Lesser.
This month marks a full five years since we incorporated the “PaperBack” feature into The Rap Sheet’s regular contents. It was created for Bill Crider’s Pop Culture Magazine, but immediately prior to Crider’s demise in February 2018, we adopted it into this blog as an homage to that author’s longtime blogging efforts. “PaperBack” premiered in The Rap Sheet on February 10, 2018.
It’s been a pleasure to host this feature over the last half-decade. We hope readers have found as much delight in discovering vintage softcover fronts and their authors as we have.

That cover painting was done by Ron Lesser. Confirmed to me by Ron, who is working with me on a series of books about his artwork. He did 11 Higgins covers.
That's great, Bob! Thanks for letting me know. I'll fix the copy accordingly.
Cheers,
Jeff
These paperbacks are awesome. I love reading the back covers and--of course--looking at the artists drawings. Thanks so much.
