Looks like a historical book about a seaside resort

There’s nothing like a rip-roaring, exciting cover to really get you interested in a book. I’m sure that sometime soon, I’m going to see one.

Image matches 1890s San Francisco viewed from California and Powell St.
Looking at the book’s Amazon page, the story is set in San Francisco just after the London Ripper murders.
Even tho’ it’s on Lousy Book Covers, I suspect this image choice was deliberate.
