Book cover of 'The Chalk Circle Man,' by Fred Vargas. The cover has a teal blue background which ranges from very dark, almost black to a medium bright teal. The title's lettering is white, in a gritty, urban font. The author's last name is also in white, but her first name is in bright teal, both are also in a more formal font. The cover illustration is of a narrow Paris street with the foreground & sides quite dark, but with moonlight illuminating the center & becoming brighter & almost white at the top. There is a large, white chalk circle drawn in the street about 1/3 up from the bottom on the right side. The dark figure of a man in an overcoat can be seen on the road, moving towards the top & the light, away from the circle.
