Okay, here is my rundown...I like the big one with the snow and the city in the background. The story is mostly in the 1950s and most of his RR cop work was done in yards outside Chicago, and the bleak quality of that one rings true to me. I am SO hopeful a man can be added to the train image, and here are two possibles, I hope. By his telling, these RR cop guys were barely more than thugs who brutalized people who encroached onto the RR yard. They did not wear uniforms and his descriptions are that they were are pretty rag-tag lot.

That said, however, I can see any of this train and track images being an effective image for this book....!!
