Kelly Gay just posted the cover for her next Charlie Madigan book,  The Darkest Edge of Dawn!  The Better Part of Darkness was one of my absolute favorite reads last year so I’ve been waiting for this one.  I still have a few months to wait.  This one is due out August 31st 2010.

We have a cover! Artist is once again the amazing Chris McGrath. Can't even put into words how much I dig this cover -- okay, I can -- I love with the intensity of a thousands suns... :D The cover isn't final, maybe a few tweaks here and there. Oh, and it doesn't translate in the pic, but the actual cover title will be a flat silver foil. –Kelly Gay

Here the the original art from Chris McGrath. You can see Charlie’s badge more clearly:
