Wall of Spies

I teamed up with Author Jamie Smith once again to work on the sequel to his book 'The Soviet Comeback'. The sequel continues along the same themes of international espionage based in Berlin, 1989. I was tasked with creating a cover that allows the book to sit side by side with the original, while enhancing its core themes. This was made using elements of AI image generation, photo manipulation from my own texture photography work and custom illustration to give it a mysterious dreamlike look; all rounded off with bold clean typography front and center.

TRUST NO ONE. THE WALL IS LISTENING.
Wall of Spies is the thrilling sequel to The Soviet Comeback.
"Gripping debut novel." — Bangor Mail
"An exhilarating Cold War thriller that explores race and acceptance." — Bucks Press
Berlin, November 1989. The Soviet Union is crumbling. Eastern Europe burns with revolution. In a Stasi-controlled East Berlin, where every wall has ears, trust can be fatal. Nikita Allochka — the feared Black Russian, a KGB operative — has been coerced into becoming a CIA double agent. Sent into East Berlin with one mission — stop a bomb from detonating at the heart of the Iron Curtain — he must navigate a deadly web of lies, conflicting loyalties, and buried secrets. Betrayal stalks every step of his mission. To survive, Nikita must confront not only his enemies — but his own divided soul.
