Items related to The Corpse Had A Familiar Face
Nobody covers love and lunacy, life and death on Miami's mean streets better than Edna Buchanan, the Miami Herald's legendary police reporter. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Buchanan has seen it all, including over 5000 corpses. Many of them were people she had known.
In THE CORPSE HAD A FAMILIAR FACE, she introduces us to misfits, the disenchanted, the evil, the wronged and the crazies. Her stories are reflections of a dynamic and troubled city in transition.
Counterpoint to the murder and mayhem is the author's own story: a tough New Jersey childhood, her brief marriages, her longtime love affair with Miami and her grueling, fascinating work.
