Brian Flynn Cover Gallery

I thought it was about time to put together this resource – its the sort of thing that I’ve often looked for when writing blog posts on Brian Flynn. Having found more on the internet recently, and a lot more when visiting Brian’s grandchildren, here’s what I have with regard to Brian Flynn dustjackets. Oh, and a few are from my collection… All covers are UK first editions, unless otherwise stated. Any missing images, do get in touch. I would like this to be as complete as possible.

  1. I love the dj for Where There Was Smoke. The Feet of Death, what a title. Kind of reminds me of She Had to Have Gas.

    If you need any scans of the American jackets, let me know!

  2. Hey, what’s up, Doc? I just wanted to thank you for getting Flynn reprinted, because I have been enjoying his work as of late. So far, I’ve only read a handful of them, but appreciate Flynn brought the same kind of ingenuity to his trademark (false-identity) trope as Bush and Carr did with the unbreakable alibi and impossible crime. My reviews won’t start appearing until early next month, but they’re in the pipeline and hope you realize what you have wrought (again)!

    • Flynn very much channelled Doyle’s version of how disguise works – i.e. even your friends and family won’t recognise you, but he does veer away from this trope quite quickly – I think it’s much rarer after the first ten or so books. There’s still a bundle that I still haven’t read though… I’m glad you’re enjoying what you’ve read so far – I’m obviously excited that we’ve managed to get the first ten reprinted. If they do well, there’s always the possibility that more may follow.
