The cover is still Cliff Nielsen, but my copy's art is '''flipped''', the image is '''warped''', the image is '''darker''' than yours, the font for the title and the writer (Vivian Vande Velde) is '''totally different''' and she has the legend "Edgar Award-winning author of '''Never Trust a Dead Man'''" printed underneath her nameThis copy also has the imprint '''name''' and '''logo''' Magic Carpet Books in a black box in the upper left hand corner.
