The goal of designing a book cover at the beginning of a project is to find the theme, gaze at the totality of what needs to be achieved and why. At the moment I have 5,000 words, about 2/3 of one percent, long way to go, and art is the motor. On a big new project like this one, I'd much rather use days or weeks to see each little piece of my two main characters and the people they have to deal with as troubleshooters. Funny sort of job, shooting trouble in the mid-1970s. Milwaukee was run by the mob. Private hoodlums existed, both black and white, but they couldn't touch a pinball machine or enter a nightclub without supporting organized crime. Quite an era.
