A gray textured gradient overlays a tan background, becoming lighter near the bottom. At the top of the image, the phrase "Praise For..." sits to the left of the cover of ECHOES OF THE LOST. Below this, a speech bubble coming from "PRAISE FOR..." contains the following quote: "This is my favorite kind of hero! Damaged, caring, bearing both a parent's compassionate heart and a seasoned adult's confusion and commitment."

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
