This cover image is for my upcoming book “Death Comes to Town,” which is a Crime story (with a small touch of Horror) that takes place in a Fantasy setting.

The image was created by Glenn Porter, a highly accomplished graphic artist who does conceptual work for films and electronic games. With some authorized Photoshop modifications by me.
