Reviews
Praise for Human Capital "A gripping, troubling, and incisive portrait of the way we live now . . . Has the ambitious sweep and narrative power of a nineteenth-century novel." -Tom Perrotta, author of Little Children "Like Rosellen Brown's Before and After and Scott Spencer's Endless Love , Human Capital grounds [its] plot in meticulously observed social details, its relentless pacing in some shrewd psychological insights. And Mr. Amidon proves himself a nimble storyteller, providing the reader with a solid, literate and consistently compelling tale." -Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Amidon's novel is a wonderfully wicked satire on a twenty-first-century gilded age . . . His book is more than just one family's story. It's a portrait of a whole society caught in a dead end that everyone insists will lead somewhere after all." -Michael Shelden, Chicago Tribune "Amidon has achieved the rare alchemy of creating a novel charged with suspense from the lives of ordinary suburban families; it's also an unflinching social commentary that has the potential to endure as a clear and literate portrait of its time." -Stephanie Merritt, The Observer (London), Praise forHuman Capital:"Amidon nails it . . . If there's anyone writing about [the suburbs] now with the clarity, insight, and honesty that he brings to the task, I'm unaware of it." -JONATHAN YARDLEY,The Washington Post Book World"Amidon moves the story along as quickly as any Hollywood director but while giving us entrée to his characters' inner lives." -MICHIKO KAKUTANI,The New York Times, Praise forHuman Capital "A gripping, troubling, and incisive portrait of the way we live now . . .

Synopsis
There isn't much crime in Stoneleigh, Massachusetts. It's a college town, a mountain getaway for the quietly rich, where the average burglar alarm is set off by foraging wildlife. So when Edward Inman, the owner of Stoneleigh Sentinel, gets a latenight false alarm from the home of Doyle Cutler, one of his wealthiest clients, Edward thinks nothing of it-not until a local student, Mary Steckl, claims that she was sexually assaulted at Cutler's house. Edward soon finds himself drawn to Mary's story, even though the rest of the town doubts her, including his wife, a rising politician who has made security the platform of her mayoral campaign. While homework from a creative writing class is leaked as evidence of a dark secret between Mary and her father, Edward's investigations lead him to his old girlfriend, Kathryn Williams, whose teenage son may hold the key to the truth about that night. From the author of Human Capital , Security is a timely, wry, and riveting story of adults and children, secret lives and civic culture, suspicion and sexual hysteria. It confirms Stephen Amidon as a master of the art and one of the foremost chroniclers of American life today., There isn't much crime in Stoneleigh, Massachusetts. So when Inman, the owner of a security company, gets a late-night call from Doyle Cutler, one of his wealthiest clients, Inman thinks nothing of it--until a local student claims that she was sexually assaulted that same night at Cutler's house.
