Cover Reveal: The Fourth Black Beacon Book of Mystery

The puzzle has been solved! We've uncovered the mysterious art by Malgorzata Mika for The Fourth Black Beacon Book of Mystery. This art is inspired by the Oscar Tremont story "The Case of the Ghost Slipper", which the editor will be contributing to the anthology. For the fifth volume, one of our contributors will have the opportunity to have his or her puzzle-solving protagonist appear on the cover. Preference will be given to a protagonist who has appeared in at least two previous volumes.

Without further ado, the cover for The Fourth Black Beacon Book of Mystery...
