Murder in Heliopolis: Cover Reveal!

Murder in Heliopolis: Cover Reveal!

Murder in Heliopolis is a solarpunk murder mystery set in a future in which sprawling eco-cities around the world are thriving. In the supercity of Heliopolis, under the watchful eye of the AI system that runs the city in every possible way, crime rates are lower than ever before. There hasn't been a murder in five years. 

Well, until now. 

When a successful businesswoman is found killed in her home, Detective Laith Alazraq is put on the case - his very first homicide investigation. But this isn't just any homicide. There are layers upon layers, mystery upon mystery, and all of it points to something bigger, something more dangerous than anyone knows...

Murder in Heliopolis is going to be my project for Nanowrimo/Writathon, so I'll be updating it daily and hopefully making the word count goals by the end of both events! 

First chapter out on November 1!

Today, though, is cover reveal day! Here's my cover for Murder in Heliopolis:

What do you think? It's a bit of a slap-dash job using free assets, but I like the simplicity of it 😁 Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or via my social media!

A proper intro for the serial fiction, including where you can read the chapters and follow it, will be coming out tomorrow (October 31, 2021).

The Fall of the Black Masks is the first installment in my high fantasy series, The Qarran Tales . It's a story packed with action, intrigue, betrayal, friendship, secrets, family, and more.
