Robert McGinnis - Murder Is My Business cover painting

Here is a fresh-to-the-market, classic McGinnis cover from 1963 - Murder Is My Business, a Mike Shayne mystery by Brett Halliday (Dell #6052). This cover exemplifies some of McGinnis' signature devices during this period- a beautiful, elegantly dressed woman gazing directly at the viewer, with a bit of furniture as a prop.

Size of the board is 14 x 18.25 inches. Signed lower left. Excellent condition.
