  I think TMFB would probably be worth reading for the differences....but I think Silhouette Man would be your best bet here -{

  Yes, TMFB is very different in the UK - much more complete. Also, Cold and Cold Fall are very different - the more complete version probably being the US one.

  That's a good read. I thought only the UK covers were different.

  Many of the novels seem to have differences between US and UK versions - with the US versions often being shorter - they practically butchered TMFB, for example!
