This is the German edition of
In The Blood, which was known in Germany (and most of Europe) as
A Dozen Black Roses. I liked the title so much I used it for the 4th Sonja Blue novel.
Here's the Russian edition of
In The Blood, and its title also translates into
A Dozen Black Roses as well.
This is the
Festa edition of
Sunglasses After Dark, which was known in Germany as
The Death Kiss of Sonja Blue. The first paperback edition was from
Goldmann. You may notice that Festa has decided to go ahead and cast Angelina Jolie in the role. Oddly enough, during one of the many times I've been poked with a stick by Hollywood about making a Sonja Blue movie, a relatively-unknown Jolie was considered for the part. Other potential Sonja Blues over the years have included
Reese Witherspoon,
Asia Argento,
Jennifer Lopez (don't ask),
Milla Jojovich, and the singer
Pink.
