Retocado
The cover artwork alone fills the frame: a full-bleed two-colour risograph of a lone grain elevator on the Kansas plain under a green storm sky, one pickup's headlights below, the copy 'Dead Level' in a bold condensed sans and 'Ray Tolliver' small beneath it. Flat and square-on, no border, paper edge, barcode, signs, tagline or other words, no quotation marks.
