Le Murmure du Corbeau

Butcher Billy creates his second cover for the series 'Les fleurs du Crime de Monsieur Baudelaire', published by Verso.

The cover accompanies a fictional crime narrative set around Charles Baudelaire, who becomes drawn into an unfolding murder after spotting a suspicious figure in a Paris café.

The story follows him as he tails the man through the city, leading to a violent discovery that sets a new investigation in motion.

Butcher Billy’s cover channels the mood of Paris and the novel’s fusion of history with imagined crime fiction, in his tactile, retro style.
