The author describes this character as a former child actor, who had lost all his money. while trying to establish himself as an adult actor de has drifted into private detective work. He is described as a modern day knight gallant living an underground kind of life. Physically he is a heavy guy with red hair.

The author especified that the illustration had to be of a couple of detectives doing surveillance work on a latin mercado during the night. The viewpoint was from the parking lot.
I sent him two sketches for the cover featuring different perspectives from the car.

The famous "Nighthawks" painting by Edward Hopper. I remembered this painting and in a way I wanted to incorporate it into the cover. I noticed the sidewalk across the street from the cafe, and decided it was the perfect place for the newstand. I drew the newstand in that same place but as I imagined it would look today.

La famosa pintura "Nighthawks" del pintor Edward Hopper. Me acorde de este cuadro y de alguna forma quería incorporarla a la pintura. Me fije en la vereda de enfrente del café y decidí colocar el quiosco en ese lugar pero como me imaginé que se vería en tiempos actuales.
