Book Cover Design Brief

I wrote a novel about a man conducting a foreign exchange Ponzi scheme. He steals a bunch of money and tries to run off. I really want a great book cover. The title of the book is "Of Whom I am Chief". I want to print this as a hard cover book with a book jacket. It should have my name on the cover "Jim Bridges". I really want a book jacket that is eye-catching and very professional. Even though I will probably only self-publish a few copies for my friends and family, I want it to look like something you would buy in the store. It is kind of a mystery--who stole the money?--so it needs to have that kind of cover art. I would like to be able to add two book reviews to the back jacket of the book. I can supply these shortly. I can also supply an author photo and brief bio for the back inside flap once we decide on a good cover.

Target Market(s)

Friends and family. Maybe a Christian adult market if I get bold and try to have it published.
