Over haar lijk was published in 1960 by Rotterdam based Uitgeversmij, and it’s a Dutch edition of Richard S. Prather’s 1959 thriller Over Her Dead Body. This caught our eye because the cover has the same art that was used on Steve Brackeen’s Baby Moll, except with the background changed to an eye-catching blood red. Uitgeversmij often took U.S. covers and colored them. It sometimes led to cheap looking results, but occasionally, such as here and with Henry Kane’s Snatch an Eye (which we showed you a while back), they lucked into beautiful results. We’ve seen this cover around, but we suspect it came from Flickr, so thanks to original uploader on this.
