Book Cover Design Brief

I want a clear and strong cover that will look good as a thumbnail as well as scaled up. It has to reflect the fact that the book is historical (also crime / thriller). I don't want anything generic or anachronistic. The book is set in 1809 so there can't be any type writers, modern weapons etc. The cover should include the title (KEEPER) and author name (B. D. STOCKER) as well as the following tag line - With his past bleeding into the present, Keeper has to stay alive to catch a killer.

I have attached a detailed brief and some examples of book covers in the same genre that I like.

Target Market(s)

A typical reader is interested in history, more likely to be male than female, middle aged and located in the UK.

Requirements

Must have

• The design must include the book title and author name and be relevant to the book description and time period. I have attached a blurb and synopsis for the book as well as some book covers I like in the same genre.

Nice to have

• I would like to see something that represents the main character, it doesn't have to be too literal.
  
  The main character is a former soldier who has lost a leg so has a crutch made out of a damaged musket (standard issue British Army Brown Bess circa 1809) the stock was padded with horsehair and covered in leather scraps secured with dome-headed upholstery pins. It would be nice to see that in the design but I don't have any art work for it and so I am open to other ideas. I have attached some book covers from the same genre that I like and below is the book blurb and outline.

Should not have

• My project must not have anything too modern in it
