Cover Description
A short-haired blonde white woman in a sleeveless light blue gown shirks away from something out of sight with her eyes closed; she is in the arms of a brunette man in a brown housecoat and white pants pointing a gun out of frame. The room behind them has a colourful carpet, plant stand, and a black table with a leopard face carved in the corner above a leg ending in a clawed paw.
Notable Details
