By using a dimly glowing computer as the primary light source, the cover conveys a sense of late-night investigation, hinting at the relentless pursuit of solving the mystery. The scattered items on the desk add to the sense of realism and immersion, while the name "Mack Harris" on the name plate personalizes the scene, making it more relatable to readers. The typography choices enhance the overall impact of the cover. The distressed typewriter font for the title and subtitle not only aligns with the true crime genre but also provides a vintage, gritty feel that is often associated with crime investigation stories. The clean, minimalist sans-serif font for the author's name ensures clarity and easy recognition, maintaining a professional appearance. The layout strategically places the title on the case file, emphasizing the central theme of the story and drawing the reader's eye. The uneven distribution of items creates a sense of movement and disorder, mirroring the unpredictable nature of crime-solving. The matte finish and thick paper stock contribute to a high-quality, tactile experience, making the book feel substantial and significant. The chosen materials also enhance the dark, brooding aesthetic, reinforcing the emotions of murder, shock, and dread that the cover aims to evoke.
