Empire Rising by Thomas Kelly

The black and white imagery helps bring the 1930s setting to life  and what to expect from the book immediately. The book cover’s title  skewed to the left  gives the impression of flying letters high in the air which is perfect with the book’s protagonist who works high above the city on the Empire State building.
