A cold bright sunny morning at an out of town shopping centre is transformed in an instant by the arrival of a lone gunman. Detective Frank Harman with twenty five years experience in the Police Force and nearing retirement is called to the scene and he embarks on an investigation that is both strange and mystifying. Is the accused able to control others just with the power of his mind or is he part of some wierd cult?
a first novel, self published by the author. Science fiction in tone. I enjoyed the story and the themes throughout. What did irritate me though was the lack of contractions in the everyday speech of the characters. This may have been a deliberate device but it did detract from the flow of the narrative. Great concept and kudos to Keith for actually writing it and publishing it so we could all read it.
