Front cover of *Fire Exit* by Glen P. Vecchione. The colorful illustrated cover is split by a torn vertical seam. On the left, a solitary figure stands on a black metal fire escape beside a green city building, suggesting an American urban setting. On the right, a sunlit Italian hillside village rises toward a church tower, with cypress trees and a vivid blue sky. Large orange lettering reads "FIRE EXIT." White lettering reads "A Senior American's Search for a Better Life in Italy," and "Glen P. Vecchione" appears at the bottom.
