Hurt Machine is the third cover in the Moe Prager series we’ve had the opportunity to design, and it’s the fourth cover we’ve designed for award-winning author Reed Farrel Coleman. The cover elements highlight setting, plot and mood. The novel’s setting of New York City is presented in aerial view; the title is presented with a red cross, a symbol for the EMT that’s murdered in the story. The billowing smoke against the black and white backdrop sets the scene for the dark mystery the protagonist P.I. must unravel.
Book Description //
At a pre-wedding party for his daughter Sarah, Moe Prager is approached by his ex-wife and former PI partner Carmella Melendez. It seems Carmella’s estranged sister Alta has been murdered, but no one in New York City seems to care. Why? Alta, a FDNY EMT, and her partner had months earlier refused to give assistance to a dying man at a fancy downtown eatery. Moe decides to help Carmella as a means to distract himself from his own life-and-death struggle. Making headway on the case is no mean feat as no one, including Alta’s partner Maya Watson, wants to cooperate. Moe chips away until he discovers a cancer roiling just below the surface, a cancer whose symptoms include bureaucratic greed, sexual harassment, and blackmail. But is any of it connected to Alta’s brutal murder?
