Small images of several human figures against the backdrop of a skyscraper. Figures include: a man in suit and tie beginning to fall forward as if shot, a policeman with handgun patting down a man against a brick wall, a woman in sheer negligee leaning in a open doorway, a man aiming a machine gun, the profile of a man in suit and hat, and a woman in a short pink skirt lounging on a bed.
At head of title on cover: The mob moved in--and the city became a coffin in concrete.
On front cover: author of Ride the Gold Mare.
On back cover: Ice picks, bombs, cement overcoats.
Three figures from the front cover are enlarged and reproduced in grayscale: a woman in sheer negligee in an open doorway, the profile of a man in suit and hat, a woman in short dress lounging on a bed.
