So when Edward Inman, owner of Stoneleigh Sentinel Security, is alerted by a late-night alarm from the home of Doyle Cutler, one of his wealthiest clients, Edward thinks little of it - until a local student, Mary Steckl, claims that she was sexually assaulted at Cutler's house that same night . . . Edward soon finds himself convinced by Mary's story, though the rest of the town doubts her. As he purses his investigations, much is uncovered that many in the town would prefer to remain hidden . . . Security is a brilliantly observed and gripping story of adults and children, secret lives and civic culture, suspicion and sexual hysteria. It confirms Stephen Amidon as a master of the art of the novel and one of America's leading chronicles of modern life.timely, wry, and riveting story of adults and children, secret lives and civic culture, suspicion and sexual hysteria.

Review :
"'Amidon engrosses the reader immediately... Wonderfully enjoyable.' Nick Hornby, Daily Telegraph 'Quietly brilliant... Amidon shares Franzen's eye for psychological realism - his characters, from manic depressive teenagers to frustrated mothers to working men, are entirely convincing - and his dry wit.' Stephanie Merritt, Observer"
