Red For Danger

Book Cover

​

I was asked to create a book cover for this crime novel by Jean Comber.

​

I sent over a few different ideas and concepts and this was the one that was chosen in the end.

​

It was a really fun graphic design project, you can see one of the alternate ideas at the bottom of this page.

​

Here's a description of what the book is about, if you like the sound of it, you can buy it on Amazon.

​

"Harry Lewis would like to think he was like Philip Marlowe, but he just doesn’t get the right sort of jobs. He’s a hum-drum private eye plodding along on boring surveillance jobs on cheating husbands. That is until he buys a drink in a bar for a rather gorgeous red-head. Waking up the next morning he has no memory of what happened after that, just a very sore head.
When on reading the morning paper he sees a picture of the same red-head who is wanted for questioning in connection with a murder last night, he figures he really needs to find out what happened during those missing hours. Maybe he’s into the big time at last – but maybe not the way he imagined."
