Design needs
A polished cover for a contemporary crime thriller. Think the recent covers for Michael Connelly, Lee Child's Jack Reacher series (UK publisher covers which are better than the US version), and the Rachel Hatch series by Brian Shea.
What to avoid
Try to avoid having a gun, or figure holding a gun on a cover. I'm really open otherwise.
