Falcons Island paperback cover 1973

Victor Prezio's 1973 illustration for the paperback novel "Falcons Island" features a woman in a flowing white dress against a backdrop of a mysterious house perched on a cliff overlooking a vast body of water. The woman appears distressed, clutching her face and looking upwards. The gothic architecture of the house, the woman's distressed expression, and the stormy sea all contribute to an atmosphere of suspense and intrigue. Prezio's mastery of detail and atmospheric rendering effectively captures the spirit of the novel's genre.
