Security
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York, New York, 2008
Description
Security takes place in a quiet college town. The main character, Edward Inman, runs a home-security business with little excitement, until he receives a false alarm one evening from his wealthiest client. Edward is soon thrown into the drama of secret lives and sexual hysteria. For the jacket design, I wanted to play off the classic Neighborhood Watch signs while also suggesting a pervert lurking in the shadows.
Juror Notes
Clarity and boldness. Strikingly clear.
