ECHOES OF THE LOST cover sits next to a magnifying glass, a torn sheet of paper containing a blurb stating "'Tense and tender, Echoes of the Lost is a lot more than a whodunit. It’s a story about found family, redemption, and the hidden corners of the city most people will never see . . . Impossible to put down'. - April Henry, New York Times bestselling author" A piece of black tape connects the quote to the red background and "Order Today" peeps out of the top right corner in a star shape

The word "don't" written on a chalkboard with a phone held in front as if to take a picture. On the phone screen the text reads "do it" instead.
