So, I'm designing a website for my work--can't put a cover for NIGHT CHILD up yet, since it's not ready, but I can link to other books that I've written. Any suggestions for content/look/feel? Since the novel is basically a CSI procedural with magic, I'm thinking something with crime-scene tape, maybe a body outline?

I'd say to combine the elements by putting runes on the crime tape, maybe warding symbols or chakra centers along the body outline.
Maybe play with an evidence envelope/folder that says "crime scene photos" and above or below the words a pentacle or hexagram depending on what symbols you use for your magic system.
A toe tag with runic writing and cause of death as curse/hex/vampire bite/demon mauling, whatever fits for your world.
The classic closeup of a fingerprint that always brings to mind forensics and writing or something else magical/supernatural along the lines of the print.
Hmm, that's it off the top of my head, if any more come to mind I'll let you know. :)
Not to mention I got to delay doing revisions (which turned out great when I was done) so it was a mental break for me as well. ;)
